Still does. It's called gnome sushi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_sushi I discovered it accidentally one day long after I started using gnome, because I had a macos work machine and regained some muscle memory. Great feature.

You have just improved my life significantly. Thank you. I filed it under "good things we had but were taken away", and now it's under "Great things we have". For future travellers: It's not enabled by default in Ubuntu. Gotta apt that thing.
