If you want to run a quick command, instead of opening a terminal and running the command there, you can use Alt+F2 to run the console. If you also use a multilingual setup, you can quickly change the input keyboard with the Super+Space shortcut. For example, I use Hindi on Ubuntu along with English and I have Hindi (Devanagari) keyboard installed along with the default English one. If you are multilingual, perhaps you have more than one keyboards installed on your system. Super+Space: Change input keyboard (for multilingual setup) You can also use Super+V for toggling the notification tray. If you press these keys again, an opened notification tray will be closed. With Super+M key combination, you can open this notification area. GNOME has a notification tray where you can see notifications for various system and application activities. Super and up arrow keys will maximize the application window and super and down arrow will bring the application back to its usual self. Similarly, pressing the Super and right arrow keys will move the application to the right edge. This splitting screen feature of GNOME is my favorite. While using an application, press Super and left arrow key and the application will go to the left edge of the screen, taking half of the screen. Tip: If there are multiple instances of an application, you can switch between those instances by using Super+` key combination. You can also use Alt key instead of Super here. If you want to move from right to left, use the Super+Shift+Tab key combination. When you are at the desired application, release both super and tab keys.īy default, the application switcher moves from left to right. While holding the super key, keep on tapping the tab key to select between applications. Keep holding the super key and press tab and you’ll the application switcher appearing. If you have more than one applications running, you can switch between the applications using the Super+Tab or Alt+Tab key combinations. Super+Tab or Alt+Tab: Switch between running applications You can use Esc key to move out of the application menu screen. It will show the application menu where you can see the installed applications on your systems and can also search for them. However, a quicker way would be to use Super+A key combination. You can open the application menu in Ubuntu GNOME by clicking on the 9 dots on the left bottom of the screen. You may also use Ctrl+Alt+D for this purpose.

Pressing Super+D again will open all the running applications windows as it was previously. Pressing Super+D minimizes all running application windows and shows the desktop. Some systems also use Ctrl+Alt+L keys for locking the screen. Instead of going to the top right corner and then choosing the lock screen option, you can simply use the Super+L key combination. Locking screen when you are not at your desk is one of the most basic security tips. I even mention it in various tutorials on It’s FOSS when it involves opening a terminal. This is my favorite keyboard shortcut in Ubuntu. You want to open a new terminal in Ubuntu? Ctrl+Alt+T is the shortcut to open terminal in Ubuntu. Ctrl+Alt+T: Ubuntu terminal shortcut Use Ctrl+alt+T to open terminal
For example, T means ‘t’ key only, not Shift+t. It’s very important to me when I use a laptop where I have only the touchpad.I have used capital letters in the shortcuts but it doesn’t mean you have to press the shift key. And most important, I can use Guake without a mouse, using only the keyboard. In a fast and easy way, I have access to all my open terminal tabs. I don’t need to think about running the terminal anymore. Especially, after I configured it to launch with a system.
First for server, second for Ruby console, third for git, and last one for running tests. Besides that, you can open many tabs on Guake. When you press the F12 key, it will pop up again. Press F12 key again, the terminal will be gone.
Then whenever you press the F12 key, you will see the terminal on the top of your screen.

After you download and install Guake, you can start using this tool. So, if you use any of those Linux distributions, you probably use GNOME. OK, but I don’t know which Desktop Environment I use? By default, GNOME is used by systems such as Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, or Mint. When you use KDE Desktop Environment, you can check the Yakuake terminal. It is a drop-down terminal for Linux with GNOME Desktop Environment. I use it for years now, and I think it is irreplaceable. Today, I would love to share with you a very simple, but useful tool.
