[Ubuntu-manual] Fwd: (Ubuntu-Manual) Advanced Topic Chapter

Hi team. I'm in the process of reviewing Thomas's (Ubuntu-Manual) Advanced Topic Chapter and I have a quick question regarding the "Opening the terminal" subsection. My question relates to the instruction on how to open the terminal, which is obtained by navigating to Dash -> Applications -> Ter

Hey David...first, thanks for getting started on the editing so early (and thanks to Thomas for informing you he was done). THIS is the EXACT culture we wish to promote between authors and editors! To your question, I think the inclusion of common shortcut key sequences are perfectly permissible..

How much work would it be to add a couple of pages at the end of the book, with all of the common shortcuts, and maybe link them back to the respective sections in the book (if there are sections on that topic)? Have a great day.:) Patrick. P.S. If that's not an option, then I would suggest putti

Yes, agreed, a great idea of having a page or two of shortcuts, but to link them back to locations in the manual where the shortcut would apply *could be* a sizable task requiring one person's focus mere hours before the manual is released; link backs really couldn't be set until the manual was ess

I think (im my own opinion) we should keep it to the basics, just for the first release to see how it fits and works in the manual. (Cut, copy, paste, search, terminal, etc.) Thanks, Thomas Corwin > On Jul 29, 2013, at 4:21 PM, "Kevin Godby" wrote: > >> On Mon, Jul 29, 2013 at 1:30 PM, Patric

I easily get overwhelmed with shortcuts every time I hop systems and applications due to the sheer amount of them, everywhere. Especially Ubuntu, since with Unity there's a lot of new concepts with the overall design of the system. I didn't even know you could hold down the super key to display the
