@uriel Your reply shows that you did not read/comprehend my responses.

As said before, it is not about a mouse click to activate/deactivate the feature. It is about a not substantiated - and potentially wrong - decision that has a negative impact on many users and on the default usability of Gnome.

@ebassi

Hi @uriel , you really diverge from the topic. I have given substantiated response, which you did not read or did not respond to.

About 50% / 50%. I made a hypothetical situation as basis for discussion. My honest opinion is that it is something like 98% PRO, 2% CON this feature for all users that ever willingly/accidental discovered this feature.

@ebassi

Thanks @uriel, I am not talking about a mouse click. I am concerned with Gnome. I am a user for a long time. I point to a potential mistake to disable this feature, as it is a strength, not a weakness to have it by default.

Adults do take decisions, when they have a point and - in the best case - evidence. There is no telemetry (as @ebassi pointed out), so an educated guess needs to be the basis. I am giving some evidence that this educated-guess-based decision might be wrong.

Thanks @uriel for your reply. I am discussing about a useful feature, nothing more, and insults are the wrong way.

It is about usability. I am able to click a button which is there in the Gnome settings, but there is none. You can expect from an ordinary user to install any tweaks or gsetting stuff.

However, does it make sense to disable a practical, useful and in fact used feature. No, it does not. It is counter-productive to usability.

@ebassi

@ebassi Discussion is not tirade. There is no reasonable reason to deactivate it by default. No one has given a compelling reason, why to do so. People are actively using this feature, as you can see in the comments of all news sites that reported on this. There are good reasons to keep this practical and useful feature as default. Please reconsider your opinion on that.

@ebassi I checked the Gnome settings and it is not there.

@ebassi I think it is not configurable for the end user at the moment. To add it in Gnome Setting panel would be something helpful, if you go further with the plan to deactivate it.

@uriel

Thanks @jamesh for your reply. I don't understand the technology behind this feature. I am just using it.
