  • auouymous, bug with disabled systemui was fixed. Actually, this was real bug in Telescope, but for some strange reason it was somehow hidded by systemui. Please check that now it is gone.
  • Reduced flickering when switching between Switcher and Launcher views

If you don't see update in app manager, please wait a bit and try again

Always thrilled to see an update. Not seeing it in App Manager quite yet but will check in the morning.

Not exactly. You was able to move around opened windows with F5 (Home) key and to activate selected one with F4 (Menu) key (many users, including me, have swapped Esc and Menu buttons, may be this is why you remember about Esc).

Now switching windows with Home key is broken because second F5 press calls Launcher instead.

If you have idea about convenient key bindings, please descibe it in details, because i admit that when Launcher was integrated and second F5 key began to show it instead of selecting thumbnails, keyboard control became less useful.
Which key for moving around opened windows?
Which key to activate selected?
Which key to show Launcher?
Which key to go back from Launcher to Telescope?
Which key to show desktop?
Ah yes, that's how it worked.

How about:

Start Telescope: Home Key
Start Launcher: Press Home Key again
Go from Launcher to Telescope: Press Home key
Exit to Desktop (from Telescope): Tap any area outside of the app windows - or press Escape
Exit to Desktop (from Launcher): Tap any area outside of the app windows - or press Escape
(All the above is the way things work now)

If N810 keyboard is open (or an N800):
Move around open apps in Telescope: Dpad direction keys
Activate app in Telescope: Center key in Dpad

If N810 is closed (or an N800):
Use zoom + and - keys to move left and right among the apps
