@Sothis6881 Is Clipit a similar programme to clipgrab.org ?
We love to have new, modern and good looking theme for this great distribution !
stars when I type password in Terminal. I have to add this myself using visudo, but it would be good as a standard. Good for Noobs and I like it too.
Integrated google drive without need to install gnome stuff (which I did).
An easy way to create a restore point> something like "time-shift" in LinuxMint. preferably using a USB stick so it doesn't rely on anything but changing the boot order to bring me back to a previous time I just can't resist fooling with the distro, sometimes with disastrous results and being a nooby, I have 't the time to develop the skills to restore some of my botched changes. My modification of "fstab" this evening trying to mount a second HDD just about made me throw in the towel. If Linux is ever going to make gains against Windows, there must be an easy way to undo a nooby's screw ups.

eOS also has notifications when tasks finish in the terminal. I love that feature.

time-shift is pretty nice. It is my go to after I get the urge to live dangerously.

Drawers with X / Y offset to adjust how they appear when opened, and spacers which could also act as their own separate containers for housing other items, or left blank for padding out certain panel items.
Drawers which also have icons which expand inside the panel (shelves?) would also be fun, but I woulddn't expect that to be practical for most people.
a11y: Optional override to colour the window list buttons (with various saturation and brightness tweaks applied after the colour changes) for easier identification of programs in the window list.
Was going to suggest this for the titlebar also, but too many themes, and too complex to implement unless MATE team wishes to create their own window decorator, or modify Emerald with an engine which permits this.
Been a while since I posted here, but one feature I get asked a lot from friends that play a lot of FPS games is a GUI option to disable mouse acceleration.
I have seen it on ElementaryOS and GNOME3 (if you use Gnome Tweaks). Think Xfce and kde have it, but not 100% sure on that...
Anyway, it would be nice if Mate had that option in the mouse settings.
I think it's already in mouse settings. @Cold
Imrpoved Global Menu, because it crashes sometimes, I can't provide logs right now. Also: which logs?
Improved Brisk Menu in Dash mode for Mutiny layout. Ability to select custom apps grid like 5x7 or 6x6, something like this. Also something like compact mode, which would show smaller (not full screen) app grid, like 3x3 or 4x4. @Wimpy

Checked there @BAKCYL, and it does not disable it. To check if its disabled, on a terminal type:
xinput list-props {1..50} 2>/dev/null | fgrep 'libinput Accel Profile Enabled ('
You should get something like
libinput Accel Profile Enabled (300): 1, 0
Where the last two numbers are adaptive(acceleration) profile and flat profile. For it to be disabled you want a flat profile, so the numbers should show off as 0, 1.
GNOME3 on flat profile and GNOME3 on default profile.
ElementaryOS on flat profile and ElementaryOS on default profile(ignore the first terminal answer I forgot to delete it lol).
Searching around I found a link of an old topic talking about how the sensitivity option in pointer speed is really the acceleration threshold. So it would be nice to fix the naming and add a sensitivity option. @Bill_MI that solution still working?
Hi @Cold. All the parameters have changed but the same hardware mouse that gave me fits doesn't need to be "tamed" so I haven't looked further. That older problem of having no basic sensitivity adjust was in a lot of distros at the time and based on what I've seen that problem still exists.
I can't believe you even had to ask for this, and 7 years later Caja still cannot search in hidden folders... like EVERY other file-manager can do by default. So disappointing.
Those limitations on Caja search are a reason I did what I outlined in this other post. 
What I would like to see:
-
A mechanism to "record" and "autoplay" a sequence of mouse clicks or data entry. Basically, start the recording, do various customization selections/settings using various Apps in the Control Panel (at the very least), and some others which I haven't fully thought thru. This would create a text-based script, such that it could be manually modified, or created from scratch, to identify the application/facility involved and perform the specified selections/actions. Given that expectation, it would not be "screen-coordinate" driven but "object/attribute" driven.
-
A "formal" independent backup mechanism implemented within each "facility", such as "MATE Terminal", "MATE Panel", "Caja", etc.
-
A different mechanism to "Collate and Backup" all the created customization "backups" (mentioned in the previous item), and maybe even initiate those App-specific backups (with default nomenclature) if they weren't previously saved, as a first step to the to doing the Collate and Backup.
-
The above requests are suggestive of the need of extensions to any existing API to allow programmed access to the objects/attributes that would be implicated in making those capabilities available.
I think the Community would easily see the benefits of having functionality such as I've itemized above, rather than every User having to do his own thing, piecemeal. Such functionality would also facilitate the sharing of configurations between members of the Community, doing so in a consistent fashion to accelerate the replication of any given environment, thereby facilitating personal productivity (on the one hand), and possible investigation by the development Community ( on the other hand).
Ensuring that the Release Images are always small enough to fit on a DVD disk, and not require BluRAY.

Maybe to have a preinstalled app to create snapshots of the file system like there is in Mint which comes with Timeshift out of the box + in notifications have an option to set a reminder "make system backup" to remind user weekly/monthly/once a year intervals
I think it would be a good idea since having it in the full install package could guide people toward safer upgrades of the system and in return save the time and people who don't really use tech much could be reminded to make at least one backup so if all else fails they can restore the system and not worry about losing too much time while they wait for answers on what went wrong when they try to upgrade and system fails
All in all from my years of experience on Mint MATE I remember Timeshift as something that helped me not to worry as much if I end up messing something up and in return I had more courage to learn commands in terminal
Also it doesn't take much space as an app compared to how useful it is to have ready out of the box and it would be helpful to show people that we also have things like "System restore" (Windows) or "Time Machine" (Mac) when they decide to switch

This idea was inspired by @not_Rich in this forum post I made today: Help with Redshift - #7 by Alarik
For the next distribution to switch from redshift to find solution in other options since on this link it is stated redshift is deprecated and no longer maintained:
Main reason is that a lot of users are aware of bad effects blue light from the screen produces and we need to take care of the health and well-being of Ubuntu MATE community + we shouldn't let this stop potential linux users from switching
