This is pure awesomeness - Matan you are my hero

Works as advertised. I hope this is integrated - I see no reason why it shouldn't be.

EDIT: changing homescreens the same way Helmuth reported: From . and right key, using scandinavian keyboard where the arrow keys are cramped.

Version 1.04 (in my repository, see signature) now has functionality similar to Alt-Tab. First enable it with:

gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/key-actions/ctrl_backspace_in_tasknav -t int 5

Then, when pressing ctrl+backspace, leave ctrl press. Every press of backspace rotates the displayed task windows. When you release ctrl, the upper leftmost windows is switched to.

I just read the Wiki page about your custom hildon-desktop, really impressive !

I have a suggestion about this bit, though:
/apps/osso/hildon-desktop/key-actions/dbus_shortcuts_use_fn
use ctrl+FN+key instead of ctrl+shift+key for D-Bus shortcuts. This is much easier to press, but conflicts with FN+ctrl for opening special keys window.
I remember reading in another thread, a while ago, that someone had also modified the default keyboard manager to swap the Fn and Ctrl keys. You get the same result for easier ctrl+shift+key shortcuts, but no FN+ctrl conflict. The only real problem is you can't also swap the key labels :-)

Matan a youtube video on how to use your custom hildon-desktop would be really helpful.
A show-off then a how-to would be great.

I don't do video. What is not clear in the wiki?

What about a shortcut to switch between apps running without selecting it with the finger, cycle-like as ALT + TAB on desktops. Press the shortcut n times to go through all apps running without taking the hands off the keyboard.

Also, a shortcut to end current task, without the need of unmaximize it (on microb, for example) and pressing X close.

I love to use only the keyboard when it possible and faster/easier.

What about this Thread, this Brainstorm and this Solution?

Please, read also the full Thread, be careful with such hacks on your beloved Device and vote for the Brainstorm. Personally I would prefer solution Number #1.

A big "thank you" to Matan for putting together the modified Hildon-desktop! Just installed it and so far it seems to work just as advertised. The choices for performing extra actions with ctrl-backspace in the dashboard are brilliant and something I've always missed, so this is much appreciated.

With a simple GUI for changing the gconf keys this would imho be a superstar extras-application. Maybe it could suit being integrated in Tweakr for instance? Haven't tried that application though, so it is just a thought.

In the mean time a short sentence on the wiki page about how to use the terminal to set the keys might be good? I would add it myself but I don't seem to be able to - is that wiki page private in some way?
