Hello guys,

I love cairo dock on my ubuntu 12.10, cairo dock + gnome shell but I'm just missing the dash home button (SUPER -shortcut key-) from gnome shell, where you can just type in a word all you need.

I've read this tip for Unity here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2000215 , it's possible something like this into Gnome-Shell ¿?

    • Cairo-Dock version: 3.1.99.rc2.
    • GNU/Linux distribution: Ubuntu 12.10.

Gnome-shell != Unity
and Dash is a part of Unity, so ...

However there are several solutions:
- enable the "Recent-Events" applet in the dock, which has some of the Dash features (recently used applications, files, URL, etc)
- use Unity and hide its left launcher bar (see http://glx-dock.org/ww_page.php?p=Cairo-Dock%20and%20Unity&lang=en)
- install Synapse, which will give you some of the features of Dash
- there is also the possibility to hack into the code of Unity to disable only what you want (see http://glx-dock.org/ww_page.php?p=Cairo-Dock%20and%20Unity&lang=en again, but it's tricky)

Hi.

I love cairo dock and use it by choice on my Ubuntu 14.10 system.

The one thing I miss though is the search feature (not the launcher) of Gnome or Ubuntu.

I am not a programmer but can poke around a bit. I would like to compile cairo-dock with support for the Gnome Dash search fundction. i saw the source files under the "implementations" directory. The ones that deal with gnome-shell-integration which have a couple of functions like "_show_dash" and "_hide_dash" but poking around did not do the trick.

Would love some pointers on how I could go about this.

Also I have tried synapse but with Ubuntu 14.10 it segfaults.

Thanks in advance
