Hotkeys in Linux
In the realm of Linux operating systems, hotkeys stand as a powerful tool significantly streamlining system and application navigation. These key combinations facilitate swift execution of various tasks, from launching applications to window switching and desktop navigation.
However, Linux hotkeys may differ from those commonly used in other operating systems like macOS or Windows. This discrepancy arises from Linux's unique architecture and functional capabilities, which influence its operation and user interaction.
For instance, Linux frequently employs the "Super" key (typically depicted with the Windows icon) to access various system functions. Additionally, there are dedicated hotkeys for managing windows, workspaces, terminals, and other functionalities.
Please note that certain key combinations may not work due to the configuration of your virtual machine, emulator, or Ubuntu version. If you find that certain hotkeys do not activate specific functions, we recommend checking your system settings and possible key conflicts.
