** 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.

Note that it does not always open the dash, it's merely one of many side
effects. More often than not it will just not register the change and
write "2" or "3" into whatever program I'm using at the time (A severe
annoyance when using vim, let me tell you!)
