[lug] virtual screens on gnome?

[David L. Willson]

I think my favorite common feature of GNOME 3, Windows 10, and macOS is that they all have a search/launch input box that is quickly and easily accessed with the keyboard or the mouse.

I suppose that if there's a WM that is better than GNOME 3 in some way (lighter, prettier, more powerful), but it still has that feature, it might be worth trying.
