Bug Description
Hi,
As a quicklist has a patch to land in Unity (see lp:1107866 ), a feature request is having a quick way to close the windows from the quicklist.
Before having the quicklist patch, here is how we close a specific window of an application:
* keyboard: [alt]+[tab] or ([super]+number x2 then select with arrow the windows) then [alt]+[f4] or [shift]+[esc] depending the apps or [alt] then [C],[L]
* mouse/touch: [click] or [tap] on the apps icon x2, mouseover the one to close, then use the ribbon to close it (or get focus then clic on top-left close button
The problem, on low spec machines like netbooks or others low specs/no drivers compatible, is the mouse/touch way requiere a call of visual effect (compiz).
Proposed solution :
* mouse/touch: [right clic]/[2-fingers tap] to call the quicklist on the icon apps from the launcher (as it is from the actual patch), then use a [X] shortcut into the quicklist. This should solve the problem that a call to compiz (and its latence effect due to lack of decent hardware/driver) is required to close a specific windows with mouse/touch only.
Any suggestion(s) from the design/ergonomy team is welcome (for example: "should it have reduce and/or maxime button too?")
In the below attached pic, you can see the main idea:

=> "Example of what it could looks like (button put on left to be sure text does not put it too far)"

As part of the big bug review for 16.04 LTS, I have tested this on 15.10 and the bug is still there. I think this is a feature request rather than a bug.
