Sorry for the late reply, I'm still catching up with downstream after coming back from vacations.

Those menu items were removed upstream on purpose, and we won't bring them back there. We can either do a downstream patch or implement the functionality in an extension that we enable in the classic session.

Comment 4 Steffen Froemer 2016-10-10 18:54:01 UTC

Thanks. I think my customer would agree with the extension enhancement. I know, that some engineers are also missing the "named" desktop feature of gnome2. Maybe an extension which combine both, would be helpful.

The extension https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/105/panel-docklet/ would be a good starting point. But in the end, this extension has to be delivered by Red Hat, as my customer is aware of using software from internet sources.

That feature still exists, there is just no UI for setting the names. The workspace-indicator extension (part of the upstream gnome-shell-extensions module) does have a preference dialog dialog for setting them, and the window-list extension will pick them up if set.

But the "move to named-desktop" is still missing, right? I just able to define specific names by using the workspace-indicator extension and these names are displayed in the workspace-indicator panel.

Yes, those actions were removed from the context menu, see comment #3.

Comment 10 Michael Boisvert 2017-06-14 19:31:19 UTC

I can verify that this functionality is available in GNOME Shell Classic as "move to another workspace" and in GNOME Shell as "move to workspace down/up."
