hi all,
this one is about the graphics related features of 9.10.
while using the usual Alt + Tab combination to toggle between different windows, i pressed the Alt, Windows, and Tab keys by accident.
i was surprised to see that suddenly all 3 open windows were being displayed in a 3 D circular pattern with the desktop in the background.
i don't really know if this feature was present in earlier version of Ubuntu, but it seems to be some kind of response to a similar feature in Vista (which i hated !). however, the Ubuntu one is so much more better implemented !
unfortunately, i had so far not come across any info on such a feature in 9.10. the serendipitous discovery of the 3 D window toggle feature leads me to suspect that there are many such nice surprises waiting for me in Ubuntu !
therefore, can someone please point out more such feature sets / shortcuts and places in the OS which would have info on the same ?
cheers !
