## Description
https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/look-resolution.html#rotation
The page describes very minimally about screen rotation.
Please also document how to lock the screen resolution preferably with an image of the icon in both locked and unlocked position.
In GNOME Shell, click the top right of the screen to open the system status menu.
On supported laptops, there is a fourth circle button at the bottom of the menu. It has two states, locked and unlocked. Without tooltips or labels, it is not clear at all what the icon is supposed to represent or why it would be useful.https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-user-docs/-/issues/21Add Touchpad mouse click emulation help2019-07-18T19:45:28ZBugzillaAdd Touchpad mouse click emulation help## Submitted by Jeremy Bicha `@jbicha`

## Description
GNOME 3.27.90 will be changing the default behavior for touchpads for middle-click and right-click emulation to "fingers". For most computers, it was set to "areas" before.
There is some more information at
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-tweaks/issues/117
The first screenshot is the 3.26 Tweaks page. The next two screenshots show my proposal for 3.27.90.https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-user-docs/-/issues/20Reflect 'new' ability to middle-click on GtkRange (scrollbars, scales, etc.),...2019-07-19T19:08:24ZBugzillaReflect 'new' ability to middle-click on GtkRange (scrollbars, scales, etc.), other scrolling features## Submitted by Daniel Boles `@dboles`

## Description
The recent fix for this GTK+ bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787669
expanded on the mouse actions available on GtkRange derived widgets, by making middle-clicking do the opposite of the action configured by the “gtk-primary-button-warps-slider” GtkSetting:
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkSettings.html#GtkSettings--gtk-primary-button-warps-slider
It would be nice to mention this in mouse-middleclick.page.
Also, I didn't look far into it yet, but if there's not currently much info about what users can do with their mouse on ranges, or in terms of scrolling more generally, it would be good to expand on those topics too.
For the former, the GtkSettings documentation could be adapted; for the latter, this is a good overview of how things currently are.

## Description
I mentioned this idea on the mailing list but didn't really get a response yet.
I'd like to see gnome-system-admin-guide split out of gnome-user-docs. It has a different intended audience than the user docs so maybe some distros would rather not include it by default?
I guess submitting a giant removal patch here wouldn't be too helpful, but if I get approval, I can push this change through.https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-user-docs/-/issues/18build: Add meson support2019-07-18T21:12:58ZBugzillabuild: Add meson support## Submitted by Jeremy Bicha `@jbicha`

To try this out once the jhbuild patch is applied, you can run jhbuild buildone gnome-user-docs assuming you have an up-to-date jhbuild.
Or you could run something like

## Description
Touch screen gestures are now supported at both a system and an app level. It would be good to have a page on them in the user docs, in a similar manner to keyboard shortcuts.
There are some notes on gestures and behaviour here:

Supported system gestures:
* 3 fingers + 4th finger tap: alt-tab
* 4 finger drag: switch workspaces
* 3 finger pinch: activities overview

* bottom edge swipe: message tray
Supported application gestures:

## Description
This may be too complex for a single-page topic, but we should explain how one can set up a kiosk-like single-application system with gnome-shell. There are a few aspects to this:
1) Lock down settings to prevent e.g. printing, terminal access, etc (already covered elsewhere)
2) Configure automatic login in /etc/gdm/custom.conf (already covered elsewhere) for a user
3) Set the default session for that user by adding a line
XSession=kiosk
to the file /var/lib/AccountsService/users/kiosk-user (assuming kiosk-user is the account you are using)
4) Create the kiosk session by writing the desktop file /usr/share/xsessions/kiosk.desktop and setting the Exec line to be:
Exec=gnome-session --session kiosk
5) Define the kiosk session by writing a custom session definition, ie a file /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/kiosk.session, which has a line:
RequiredComponents=kiosk-app;gnome-settings-daemon;kiosk-shell;
This makes it so that you are launching your kiosk application, gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-shell in a custom configuration
6) Create a desktop file for the kiosk-shell, /usr/share/applications/kiosk-shell.desktop, which will have a line like this:
Exec=gnome-shell --mode=kiosk
and a mode definition for gnome-shell called /usr/share/gnome-shell/modes/kiosk.json. This is a small json file defining the available gnome-shell UI. It is best to look at classic.json and initial-setup.json (in the same directory) as starting pointsPetr KovářPetr Kovářhttps://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-user-docs/-/issues/10search functionality in the shell is not covered in shell introduction2019-07-18T20:00:51ZBugzillasearch functionality in the shell is not covered in shell introduction## Submitted by Baptiste Mille-Mathias

Patch to (re)license sysadmin help pages under CC-by-SA
Hi Kat, Jana, Jeremy, Jim, Michael, Petr and Minnie. I noticed yesterday that some pages in the system-admin guide need to be (re)licensed under the CC-by-SA 3.0 Unported license.
Taking David's example from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703238
I have attached a patch here that (re)licenses all the pages under the CC-by-SA license. If you agree to have your work licensed under the CC-by-SA 3.0 Unported license, please examine the patch carefully and then follow these steps:
1. Apply the patch to your gnome-user-docs clone: "git am `<patchname>`"
2. Signoff the patch: "git format-patch -1 --signoff"
3. Attach the patch to this bug and obsolete the old patch.
Once everyone has done this, I will apply the patch and push it to master.
Thank you. :)

This was mostly true in 3.8, as the vino-preferences desktop file was set to not show in GNOME. 3.6 was the last version with the preferences dialog as described in:
