I'm not the developper of it, I actually don't even use it ^^ I was just thinking of it to see how it would fit in Wayland, what's potentially missing now in the protocol. Here is an article about it: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/gnome-pie-02-released.html and a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFQDyZyMxO4. Basically, it appears under the mouse when you trigger the shortkey, and you can also use the keyboard to navigate in the items. So I see 2 main points here: - it places its window not relatively to a parent (which there is not), but to the mouse - it takes the (keyboard) focus when it appears The second point is not related to this topic, so we can probably think of it later. 2014-07-02 21:26 GMT+02:00 Bill Spitzak <[email protected]>: > > > On 07/02/2014 11:39 AM, Fabrice Rey wrote: > >> > "I am not sure if wayland should allow this, and whether there are >> clients that expect this to work" >> Well, there is at least one application that exists and displays a ring >> of icons under the mouse.
