Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unity
This is a followup of bug #617356 which was the technical side.
It has been decided there that:
Super + A will open the application place
Super + F will open the file place
Super + T will open the bin
Super + W will trigger the workspace expo mode.
Copying my two last comments from the other bug:
In lucid, the compiz keys have been reviewed in length by the design team and
we have conflicting ones with the new ones.
Like, Super + A -> expose all windows from all workspaces
Super + W -> expose the focused window and all window from the same application
on the same workspace
Super + E -> workspace expose mode (what should become Super + W seeing above)
Note that contrary to what have been told, Super + D is doing nothing.
So, there are some conflicts with the new proposal, what should be done?
Changing the experience and people upgrading from lucid or maverick will
trigger false positives (habits…)? What to set to the other keybindings
(for the GNOME classic session for instance, like the workspace expose
mode).
Also, another question: it's quite easy to make those key localizable
(like "T" or "D" for the dash make no sense in French as it's
"Corbeille"). I think this is a bad idea though as we should just have
one shortcut that people speaking different language can share, Just
mentioning it.
I should maybe add that there is no way to change the default for
existing users. So, if they had Super + A for something, on upgrade,
this is not an issue for the unity session as it's a new profile and
Super + A will give the new shortcut we decided, but on the classic
session, as it's the same old profile (gold rule, keep user
configuration), Super + A will still be assigned to expose all windows
from all workspaces.
Having two shortcuts doing different things on different sessions can be
considered as bad.
