@MC Return: Very many thanks for that. I had just gone about it the laborious way, installing wmctrl and copying a script I came across* to be run from a keyboard shortcut, but this is definitely easier. I was congratulating myself that 'my' way did not need the key combination to be hit twice, but I see that sometimes it does. Very odd, but not so very important...
BTW, I missed it in the 'Keyboard Shortcuts' list because it has changed its job title from 'Show Desktop' to 'Hide all normal windows'. PS: * script to toggle 'show desktop': #!/bin/sh if wmctrl -m | grep "mode: ON"; then exec wmctrl -k off else exec wmctrl -k on fi -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878057 Title: "show desktop" shortcut needs to be hit twice to take effect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/878057/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
