Frequently Used shortcut keys for Fedora GNOME

Frequently Used shortcut keys for Fedora GNOME

In Fedora, to get the best GNOME desktop experience, you need to understand and master the shortcut keys of the control system.

This article lists the most frequently used shortcut keys in our daily use.

1. Super key

GNOME shortcut key-super

The "super" Key is now a good friend of the operating system.

In traditional laptops, the "super" Key is located next to the "alt" Key (the logo key) in the last column ).

When you press the "super" key, the "activities" Overview chart will appear, and you will be able to see all the thumbnails that open the application.

At the same time, press "ALT" and "F1" to achieve this effect.

 

2. How to quickly execute a command

GNOME runs a command

If you need to execute a command quickly, you can press "ALT" + "F2" to display the Command run dialog box.

Now you can enter the command you want to execute in the window, and press enter to execute.

 

3. quickly switch to another opened Application

Use TAB to switch between applications

Just like in Microsoft Windows, you can use the combination of ALT and TAB to switch between applications.

On Some keyboards, the tab key draws the following | <-> |, and some are simple "TAB" letters.

As you switch, the GNOME Application Switch displays simple icons and application names.

If you press shift + tab, the application will be switched in reverse order.

 

4. quickly switch between different windows in the same application

Switch different windows in the Application

If you open five or six Firefox files as often as I do.

You already know how to switch between applications through "Alt" + "Tab. There are two ways to switch between all opened windows in the same application.

First, press "Alt" + "Tab" to move the selection box to the application icon of the window to be switched. You can use the mouse to select a window when the drop-down window appears.

The second method is recommended. Press "Alt" + "Tab" to move the selection box to the application icon of the window to be switched, then, press "super" + "'" to switch between the windows opened by this application.

Note: "'" is the key above the tab key. No matter which keyboard layout you use, the key used for switching is always the one on the tab, so it may not be.

If your hands are flexible (or I call it a ninja), you can also press the "shift", "'", and "super" keys to switch the window in reverse order.

 

5. Switch the keyboard focus

Switch keyboard focus

This keyboard shortcut is not mandatory, but it is best to grasp it.

If you want to put the input focus on the search bar or an application window, you can press "CTRL", "ALT", and "TAB" at the same time ", in this case, a list of regions for you to switch to will appear.

Then you can press the direction key to make the selection.

 

6. display the list of all applications

Show all applications

If it happens that the last application is what you want, doing so will save you a lot of time.

Press the "super" and "A" keys to quickly switch to the list containing all applications on your system.

 

7. Switch the Workspace

Change Workspace

If you have been using linux for a while, you must be deeply concerned about this kind of multi-workspace switchover.

For example, you develop in the first workspace, browse the Web page in the second workspace, and open your email client in the third workspace.

You can use the "super" + "Page Up" (Page Up) Key to switch to another direction, or press "super" + "Page Down" (Page Down) the key is switched to another direction.

Another troublesome option is to press "super" to display the opened application, and then select the workspace to switch to on the right of the screen.

 

8. Move some projects to a new Workspace

Move the application to another Workspace

If this workspace is messy, you may want to transfer the application to a new workspace. Press the "super" key combination ", "shift" and "page up" or "super", "shift" and "page down" keys.

Press the "super" key for the alternative and drag the application you want to move to the workspace on the right of the screen in the Application List.
