    Taken from that page, is a list of main key bindings:

    • Super key: Switch between overview and desktop

    • Alt+F1: Switch between overview and desktop

    • Alt+F2: Pop up command dialog

    • Super+F10: Open Application Menu

    • Alt+Tab: Pop up application switcher

    • Alt+Shift+Tab: Cycle in reverse direction in the application switcher

    • Alt+` key above Tab: Switch between windows of the same application in Alt+Tab

    • Ctrl+Alt+Tab: Pop up accessibility switcher

    • Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R: Start and end screencast recording

    • Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down arrow: Switch between workspaces

    • Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Up/Down arrow: Move the current window to a different workspace

    • F10: Toggle maximize

    • F11: Toggle full screen

    • Super + Up arrow: Toggle maximize

    • Super + Down arrow: Toggle unmaximize

    • Super + Left/Right arrow: Dock left/right

    • Super + Shift + Left/Right arrow: Move window to left/right monitor

    You can view the rest of the keyboard shortcuts and modify them by looking at the configuration:

    • In older Ubuntu versions: Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard
    • In Ubuntu 21.04: Settings -> Keyboard shortcuts

  2. To view/change keyboard shortcuts, you must be aware that there are two places with registered keyboard shortcuts. You need to make changes in dconf for certain options, like moving between workspaces:
