Certain apps such as Edge/Chrome in full screen prevent me from accessing Workshelf set on the left edge of my monitor.

Another app is FL Studio.

So, I would really appreciate if Workshelf was truly Always on Top at all times under all circumstances.

I also need a way to set a shortcut to show Workshelf. I will investigate in the settings to see if that's possible.

EDIT: I've set a shortcut (CTRL+ALT+D) to show the dock, but still doesn't show when Edge in fullscreen is focused. (game over)

Thank you.

Hi, long time no talk...

As I think you know, dock and shelf activations are deliberately disabled when a full screen application is running so you don't accidentally activate the dock with a edge bump as you are about to finally kill the boss after 1,000 tries in your full screen game.

This said, there is a full screen exclusion list you can add edge and FL Studio to... that should solve the problem.

Oh...that makes total sense. I did that and works like a charm.

Thank you!

BTW: I discovered a bug when you scroll in the exclusion apps dialog. It keeps making the fonts bigger and bigger.

Eh? I'm unable to reproduce here (unless I am looking in the wrong place). Can you please provide more details, screenshot?

Also, what version are you running?
