Re: Fwd: (Ubuntu-Manual) Advanced Topic Chapter

 

I easily get overwhelmed with shortcuts every time I hop systems and
applications due to the sheer amount of them, everywhere. Especially
Ubuntu, since with Unity there's a lot of new concepts with the overall
design of the system. I didn't even know you could hold down the super key
to display the keyboard shortcut until not that long ago, so I can
definitely see the benefit in sticking with the basics for the manual.

A page full of Unity hotkeys and shortcuts in addition to application after
application seems it would almost have a TL;DR effect with most people when
skimming through shortcuts.

Regards,
Ricky
