> Similarly, you can just Ctrl+V to paste in the terminal instead of having to work around with extra modifier keys.

– that's a bit dangerous; Ctrl-V is normally used to "escape"/make literal the following keypress, or do block select in vim.

The notification-on-long-running-process looks very handy though (I've been using https://gist.github.com/unhammer/01c65597b5e6509b9eea , but of course clicking it doesn't put me back in the right tmux window). And the "energy-sucking apps" indication mentioned in http://blog.elementary.io/post/152626170946/switching-from-m... looks very handy. (I've been considering creating wrapper for Firefox that Ctrl-Z's it when it's minimized …)

Is anyone running the Elementary DE (or parts of it) on Ubuntu? Does it work OK, or do you have to run the whole OS for it to be worth it?



That's one thing I love about macOS. The GUI app keyboard shortcuts all work with the command key and don't intervene with the ctrl key. You can always be sure control-v will paste text in terminal and CTRL-C will send SIGINT.
