  1. Not sure about Unity, but in XFCE I use wmctrl with a keyboard shortcut.

    Basically you create a custom keyboard shortcut, mine is CTRL-ALT-t and send it to the program. The command for the Application to bring to top is:

    wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b toggle,above

    You will probably have to install wmctrl first as I don't think it comes standard:

    sudo apt-get install wmctrl
