If you press super+w, then you get a view of your open windows. Pressing
super+s or pressing super+numX2, then you get similar views. Since I don't
know if these have a collective name, I've chosen to call them superviews
for the purpose of this email. They have different things in them; windows

I think the ultimate solution would be a full featured welcome center as
shown in the attached mockups and letting people get to do the decision to
open Help themselves instead of getting it thrown in their faces. The many
benefits of this would be the ability to provide other information as the

I agree with the idea of an ubuntu tour. And I think, as it have been said
before that the chosen app must be fully and early translatable.
I read few days ago in launchpad oneiric blueprints about a new way to
provide translations. Maybe it could help. I can't find the link right now
but as s

Oh my, are you serious?
There is a huge difference
In the spread view and workspace view Win+Num still works, adding
another numbering scheme would be quite confusing.

First of all, a big thanks to all of the Unity developers. I've been
loving the user experience ever since I upgraded to Natty. I'm
excited for what is to come.
One of the features I really like are the static and dynamic
quicklists. However, being a keyboard junkie, I prefer to control
things

It's not that immediately obvious which number on the launcher relates
to which window. But anyway, I have found that once y
I think that a tour for ubuntu is a must have.
It should be interactive showing users how to do this and this action
stepby step.
Maybe it could have some links to install codecs, flash player...
I also think that Ubuntu should have full translated isos at least for
main languages.

I don't understand why that is. It works this way in Firefox, Nautilus
and lots of other tabbed applications. Why is that not confusing?

What about adding numbers a la the launcher item as super is continually
held down? That way, it's easy to tell which number keys activate which
window.
