  1. There already exist many shortcuts for similar actions.

    • To show Launcher, hold the Super (aka "Windows") button for a short time.
    • To show Dash, click the Super button.
    • To see most useful Unity shortcuts, hold the Super button for a bit to see the shortcut window - there are many shortcut concerning working with windows, dash, HUD and other things.
    • To see what shortcuts are easily available to set in Ubuntu, run your Keyboard settings application.
