Also, I will add that this did not affect me on 11.10 at all - things could be quickly pressed. This all started upon upgrade to 12.04.
** Description changed: I frequently use the Super + [0-9] keyboard shortcuts to switch to specific applications. However, these shortcuts usually fail to work when executed quickly. In order to ensure a successful application switch, I have to hold down the super key for at least half a second (long enough for the launchers to appear on the left) before pressing a number key. If I press the number key too soon after starting to hold down the super key, Unity simply acts like I had not pressed the number key at all. It either shows the Dash if I let go of the super key fast enough or if I keep holding it down, it shows the shortcut overlay (i.e. whatever would have happened anyway if I never pressed the number key at all). - This was a problem in 11.10 and is still a problem in 12.04. It really breaks my flow when it happens and I end up holding down super and mashing the number keys repeatedly until the right applications finally comes up. - --- + This was a problem in 11.10 and is still a problem in 12.04.
