The idea is a menu of presets in the top left, and a list of currently visible window tags (tasks) beside it.
Right-click a window tag name to remove it (hide it).
The * refers to the set of windows that are not tagged.
The right-most tag is always "add" which is a menu of tags when clicked, to add a tag to the list/show the tagged set of windows.
- Under add is "new tag..." to create a new tag (should probably exist in window tag menu also)
You get 10 numbered presets by default and can add named ones.
Presets hold a set of tags. The menu shows all tags and lets you check/uncheck them.
Windows have a tag menu which lets you associate a tag with it quickly.
The top bar can be shown:
- Always
- On mouseover
- While key held down
- When key pressed (toggled)
KDE has something like this system now.
