Public bug reported: 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.
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. ** Affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994161 Title: Unity Super+[1-9] shortcuts to switch apps don't work consistently To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/994161/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
