I like Ubuntu 18.04/Gnome 3.28 so far, but there's one thing that bothers me: when pressing Super to search for something (e.g. a recent file), there's a jarring transition from my current window to the desktop with the all the window previews exploded on it, then the windows disappearing as the search results are displayed:
(See video)
This is not just slow, but annoying. I don't need to see all my open windows when I just want to launch a new application of open a file.
What I want is just the search results overlaid onto the foreground window, the way Unity does it:
(See video, though this isn't a great demo as the guy didn't have any windows open at that point in the video; anyway, imagine there's a browser window open and you press Super - the window will stay open)
This is a lot faster than what Gnome does.
How can I get this behavior out of Gnome? Or do I need to install Unity?
