Description Quinten Kock 2024-03-06 21:15:01 UTC 
SUMMARY
The Desktop Grid part of the new Overview does not allow managing workspaces (e.g. adding or deleting them).


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open desktop grid (Meta+G or 4 finger swipe down)
2. Middle click a desktop

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens. There are also no buttons to add/remove desktops.

EXPECTED RESULT
Desktop should close. Additionally I would maybe expect a button that creates a new desktop, similar to the 'primary' overview screen

Right, no one ever implemented this.
Comment 2 postix 2024-03-08 11:09:06 UTC 
This should made be configurable though. I tend to close windows with a middle click and I'm afraid that also closing VDs with the same button may lead to accidental removals.
Comment 3 Quinten Kock 2024-03-08 12:00:16 UTC 
Oh yeah, I just noticed I can close windows by middle clicking on them from the desktop grid. That may be a problem.
