Launcher - Mouse tricks
Clicking and holding an icon and then dragging it around will allow you to reorder it on the launcher. You can also drag it off to the right of the launcher to move it around. Note that you need to make an explicit movement to the right to move the icon off the launcher before you can move it around.
Dragging and Dropping an icon into the trash can will remove it from the launcher. The program itself will remain installed and accessible through the dash.
Scrolling the mouse wheel while over the Launcher scrolls the icons if you have too many and need to move around quickly. |
