For theming, please have a look at KB/Linux/Desktop/Theming Qt and Gtk. Adwaita is the default and has some advantages when using GNOME (consistent look).

Extensions

!!! Alternate Tab already included! Look for shortcuts and Switch Window and set it to alt+tab !!!

Install connector for managing extensions inside your browser

  "launch-new-instance@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com",
  "workspace-indicator@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com"
]

Mod+Q overlaps with dash-to-dock, disable it in extension settings.

Shortcuts

• Switch Window: alt/super + tab
• Maybe you like to simulate a tiling WM (KB/Linux/Desktop/i3 or KB/Linux/Desktop/sway) or shortcuts you're used to.

dconf for details

Install dconf and use the GUI programm to edit any values in org.gnome, e.g. interface or nautilus. Should be self-explaining.
