Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 16.04 I was used to the keyboard shortcut ctrl+Super+D to
reveal the Desktop by minimizing all windows (it was not exactly the
same as minimizing all windows but whatever).
That shortcut was changed at almost every major release, which was
already irritating enough, but at least there always was one.
Now, however, there doesn't seem to be any half-discoverable keyboard shortcut
to show the desktop.
I have tried Super+D, Ctrl+Alt+D (both mentioned in a bullshit article I found
out by googling), and every other similar combination I can think of involving
a D. Nothing works.
I shouldn't have to install a tool and create a shortcut to it just to reveal
the desktop. It's something basic. Especially considering that it used to be
available out of the box.
So sick of Ubuntu going backwards.
