4.3. Panel Objects
4.3.d. Moving a Panel Object
You can move panel objects within a panel, and from one panel to another panel. You can also move objects between panels and drawers.
To move a panel object, middle-click and hold on the object and drag the object to a new location. When you release the middle mouse button, the object anchors at the new location.
Alternatively, you can use the panel object popup menu to move an object, as follows:
-
Right-click on the object, then choose Move.
-
Point to the new location for the object, then click any mouse button to anchor the object to the new location. This location can be on any panel that is currently in the GNOME Desktop.
Movement of a panel object affects the position of other objects on the panel. To control how objects move on a panel, you can specify a movement mode. To specify the movement mode, press one of the following keys as you move the panel object:
|
No key |
Switched movement |
The object swaps places with other panel objects. Switched movement is the default movement mode. |
|
Alt key |
Free movement |
The object jumps over other panel objects into the next vacant space on the panel. |
|
Shift key |
Push movement |
The object pushes other panel objects further along the panel. |
