Ha, I think you're right! Gnome Do is one of my "must have" applications, and in the stack of apps I absolutely live in every day, it comes right after Emacs, Claws, Chromium, and Terminal. But, almost from the day I found Do I've remapped its invocation to Alt-Ctrl-Space because that's the default keybinding for Quicksilver, Do's conceptual ancestor on OS X. Cheers, -Barry P.S. Odd bit of inexplicable trivial: when running Ubuntu in a VMware Fusion VM, I actually have to hit alt-ctrl-space twice to invoke Do. On native desktops, of course, I don't. If I had to guess, I'd bet the same virtualization weirdness that causes this also gets in the way of HUD. Anybody from VMware on this list that can provide a definitive answer? :) -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~unity-design Post to : unity-design@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~unity-design More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
