Feature Request: Activities Dock Icon

[ElectricPrism]

It would be really useful if I could have a Activities Button Similar to the Applications button so I could view all my Windows in one unified area - the Dash to Dock on the bottom of my screen.

I visualize that it would remove the top left hot corner and the "Activities" text and be movable on the dock or to the right of my left hand Apps Icon.

I was thinking just yesterday that it would have been useful to be able to enter the activities view from the dock, as I was finding myself going to the dock and then changing my mind on what I wanted to do. I'll consider this idea.

For anyone interested this was a hack to get most of the functionality.

Install xdotool (Arch)

sudo pacman -S xdotool

Create Activities Launcher

sudo cat /usr/share/applications/activities.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=Activities Comment=Show Windows & Workspaces GenericName=Activities Exec=xdotool key super Icon=emblem-photos-symbolic Type=Application StartupNotify=true Categories=GNOME; MimeType=text/plain;

+1 This shouldn't be that difficult to implement right? Would make much more sense to have the activities button there. I really hope it gets implemented.

Not difficult to hack together, not straightforward to implement decently and time consuming to support. I don't have so much time so I have to choose my priorities.

I use such workaround - using dbus command.
