Hey,
I'm new user at ubuntu community and wondered following:
Is it possible to make keyboard shortcuts (like a shortcut for windows-key) for unity launcher?
The idea is to download cairo dock and put a shortcut to the Windows-key to open the dash.

Make a script to initiate the windows key using xdotool.
Install xdotool...
sudo apt-get install xdotool
xdotool script...
#!/bin/bash
xdotool key Super
Not familiar with cairo-dock. You may be able to just create a launcher on the dock
that uses the xdotool key Super command or points to the bash script.

Have you tried holding down the Super (Windows) key? Have you tried giving the super key a tap?
You may find that you already have keyboard short cuts.
Super+A = Open applications lens
Super+F = Open file lens
Super+V = Open video lens
Super+M = Open music lens
And there is more. At least with 12.10
Regards.
