With GNOME 40, I gave up and moved to XFCE. It's a much saner environment.

The travel distance they introduced is just too annoying.

You guys are using the mouse? I smack Super and type the first couple letters of the application I want opened or brought to the front and hit enter

Why are you even using the mouse in the activities overlay

Why create a new account just for this one comment?

Anyway, it's often legitimately faster to use the mouse with the Dash to Dock extension. It blows my mind that it's not the default behavior of the dock.

I guess there are many ways to skin a cat, but I never click on the thing. I just use Super+1-9 to immediately activate my desired app.

This requires you pin your "favorite" apps in the dock, but once you put them there they're always available with those key combos (whether they're running yet or not). Once you internalize the order, you don't even need to open the activities view at all (except for your more seldom used programs).
