Tablet Mode

This mode means, “I have no keyboard or mouse. Make this tablet easier to
use!” See “Manual Tablet Mode” for details. You can also control the

suggestions you see in your Timeline, described on Figure 6-3.

Multitasking

These are the options that control window snapping, and they’re described

on “Background Windows”.

Also tucked in here: The option to turn off the Timeline (Figure 6-3), and a
couple of options for the virtual-screens feature described on “Life with

Multiple Screens”. For example:

On the taskbar, show windows that are open on: The taskbar’s
job is to sprout icons for all your open windows. But what if
you’ve set up a couple of virtual monitors? Should the taskbar
change as you switch from “monitor” to “monitor,” showing

buttons only for the apps on the current desktop? Or should it
always reflect all your open windows on all the desktops?

Pressing Alt+Tab shows windows that are open on: Similar
question. When you press the app-switching keystroke (“The App
Switcher: Alt+Tab”), should the app switcher show the window

miniatures for all the windows on all your desktops? Or just the
one you’re using right now?

Next, this screen offers the “Multitask with multiple desktops” link opens a
web page that explains virtual screens (but not as thoroughly as “Life with
Multiple Screens”).
