Shortcut to switch between running applications

Posted on 2010-01-11 23:00 UTC by Tasos F.. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Desktop, System, Programming.

Hello everyone, So I was thinking about how to make the N900 user experience even easier while multitasking. Would it be possible to create a keyboard shortcut that will allow the user to switch between running applications? For example, you have these applications running in the dashboard: 1) Web browser 2) Conversations 3) File manager When clicking CTRL+1 it would go to Web browser. CTRL+2 Conversations etc This shortcut is just an example. Let me know what you think so we can create a brainstorm.

Distribute future testing firmware to trusted contributors

There was a big discussion for Bug 5315 3 Mobile SIM card rejected @ https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5315 regarding the disclosure of the latest firmware for testing this bug.

It's true that open source doesn't mean you must publish everything, but it does defeat the main point of open source development, which is to do with an open and involve contributions from the community.

It would be ideal to distribute future testing firmwares to trusted contributors in different continents to speed up the testing and verifying issues has been fixed, by doing so, it will significantly improve the turn-around time for the release of new firmwares, at the same time speed up and improve development.

 

 

JRE for Maemo 5 devices

It would be good to implement JRE for Maemo 5 devices to run Java applications.

This will allow applications .jad & .jar to be used on Maemo 5 devices expanding the applications compatibility.
