Oh god, not the start menu applet with list of everything, I hope it is optional. I like how in gnome you don't have that ugly fucking menu with everything under the sun packed into it.

Posts violating this rule will be removed, even if the post is clearly in jest. Repeated offences may lead to a ban. You may understand that the command isn't serious, but a new user might not.

No hate speech
Hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. Any violations will be removed, and are grounds for a ban.

It's a free country. it would be nice if it's available as an applet even if it isn't enabled by default. Some people like the Linux Mint layout.
Oh yeah and 8. when making custom keyboard shortcuts it doesn't let you enter the key combination to define it, you have to go by the name of the keys, which are not defined anywhere. Other shortcuts mention the shift and super keys but don't specify the name. typing "Super+Control+x" isn't accepted, for example
- Text will vanish from dialog boxes if you click on ti wrong
At some point Settings will support keyboard shortcuts by pressing them. They just didn't come around to it.
The correct keyword to add a shortcut for "Control" is "Ctrl". E.g. "Super+Ctrl+X".
There are issue trackers on Cosmic's github repos, and they welcome any bug reports.
-
The "Application" menu isn't a list, but all apps are available to scroll through in the library home.
-
Suspend works, maybe search for an existing bug report (likely for cosmic-comp).
-
Might be a bug in cosmic panel. The .desktop file has the correct icon in it, as well in the launcher.
-
If you use a app image manager (or install a theme with more app icons), they should work flawlessly. Cosmic follows the freedesktop standard for .deskop file, so if you put them at ~/.local/share/applications, they show up like any other installed app. I guess an appimage manager is in scope for cosmic.
-
A bug worth reporting to the comsic-comp issue tracker.
-
PWA's do have an icon in the app launcher.
-
How does it break? For me, date and time each take up two lines, but they are shown correctly imo. Or you want both to be shown in one line each, which could work for larger sizes of the panel?
