Description D.S. (Spider) Ljungmark 2011-04-07 21:53:12 UTC 
I'm trying to drag a file from a file manager to a mail client on a different workspace, but it appears impossible to use alt+tab while drag&dropping?

I can't use the keyboard shortcut to change workspace without releasing the mouse, and the super key doesn't work either.

Since moving the mouse to the hot corner and dragging to another workspace works, I'd really expect alt+tab to work as well.

Happens to me too and since there is no "taskbar" in Gnome 3 the move to the hot corner and then to the window isn't as fast.

It's really intuitive to always use ALT+TAB or ALT+[key above Tab]. Please add this feature on drag&drop, thank you.
