Just Give Me the Beans!
Something about Ubuntu I did not know.
If your on a Windows machine hold your Windows key and then you will see numbers come up on your icons. You can launch the program by holding Windows key + the program number on the unity sidebar. If the program is already opened, Shift + the program Number will open a brand new Window of the program. I like this a lot! Very nice feature.

You're talking about Windows and your subject title indicates something else. Do you mean that holding down the Windows key and pressing a number works under Ubuntu???Originally Posted by JF382

Yes that is what I meant. Just found this out today, this thread is about Ubuntu, I do not know what you are talking about.

That link was published for 11.04 but it is still useful and includes a wallpaper with keyboard shortcuts. You might find this link helpful too:

What I like most about these keyboard shortcuts is that they do work on the number pad (unlike Windows). It's really nice !! you can "group" your apps in groups of 3, i do it like 1,2,3 for browser file manager and email 4,5,6 for chat, gwiber, music 7,8,9 documents, sheets, gimp.
Once your head gets used to it (and that does NOT take long) you're gonna FLY on multitasking.
Ubuntu loves me...
My "windows button" must be broke or summat, coz i don't get no numbers...

Or you're using Ubuntu 10.04 which doesn't have UnityMy "windows button" must be broke or summat, coz i don't get no numbers...
I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.

Lol. What he was talking about was that in your original post, you said "If you're on a Windows machine..." and you never mentioned Ubuntu at all. I was kind of confused, too.
