Elementary OS keyboard shortcuts

elementary OS 3 years ago pappfer 14

However there was an article back in 2012 at elementary OS’s website about keyboard shortcuts in Luna, I think many people are not aware of these. These shortcuts will also work on the next version of elementary OS, named Freya. I think these shortcuts are extremely useful, using them makes a lot of things quicker and they make your OS more efficient.

⌘+Space	App Launcher
Alt+Tab	Window Switcher
⇧+Alt+Tab	Switch Windows Backwards
⌘+W	Window Overview
⌘+A	Window Overview (Across All Workspaces)
⌘+Left/Right	Switch Workspace
⌘+S	Workspace Overview
⌘+0	New Workspace
⇧+⌘+Left/Right	Move Window with Workspace
Ctrl+⌘+Left/Right	Snap Window to Half of Workspace
Ctrl+⌘+Up/Down	Maximize/Unmaximize Window
⌘+L	Lock Screen
⌘+Click+Drag	Move Window
⌘+Secondary (Right) Click+Drag	Resize Window
⌘ = Super (Windows or Command key), ⇧ = Shift

Great refresher! I’d forgotten about most of these after I stopped playing w/ Luna. Now I’ve switched to Freya as my primary OS but I don’t see any thing obvious that’d allow me to move open windows to/from my dual display setup (eg: laptop = primary, DVI monitor in docking station = secondary). It would be brilliant for window management list [META]+[RIGHT/LEFT].

Any tips?

What i really miss is the [Super] + [1…9] from unity/windows with that you can activate the n’th element in the dock. (Example: [Super] + [4] would activate the fourth entry in the dock, which would be the File-Manager for me.) This would make working with the desktop super efficient.

Is there any shortcut to switch between 3 window like this: A then B, then C then A then B then C?
So that we make in a specific order all these windows 🙂

is there a way to alt – tab between windows on all workspaces?
ZoD No

All the shortcuts available in ubuntu should be on ElementaryOS. It is a deal breaker for me now!
