1. Useless workspaces in Gnome.
… In such case I use "Shift Switcher" (a compiz plugin) with Super-Tab. It gives me the same functionality as Alt-Tab, but with a preview of contents of other windows, by the way all of them appearing in a predictable order.
AlternateTab <https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/15/alternatetab/> does this in Gnome. I couldn't live without it.
… The loss of the ability to limit Alt-Tab to only windows in a current workspace was perhaps the most painful loss for me.
Aaah! This is the exact _opposite_ of what I'd want! The Raspberry Pi desktop defaults to only switching in the same workspace, and it drives me batty! But at least Gnome allows users the choice. … even though I'd never use this, I think this is what you're looking for: Alt Tab Workspace <https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/310/alt-tab-workspace/> - limits alt-tab to current workspace
On a side note, when a Windows user observes me switch between workspaces …
It's possible under Windows 10: a little MS-provided add-on. It's the second thing I install on Windows after WinCompose.
4. I agree with Stewart Russell that Nautilus, with the stripped functionality, is quite useless. One of the first things I did after installing Ubuntu 16.04, and now Ubuntu 18.04, is to install Nemo as the main Files application.
I'd forgotten about Nemo - thanks! Stewart
