Well, if you are not familiar with linux, I 'd like to explain that ubuntu is one of the most popular linux distributions.
I have been using ubuntu for years. In addition to the frequently used Ctrl + C (copy) and Ctrl + V (paste), I also found some infrequently used but useful shortcut keys. If you are looking for more shortcuts, I believe you can find some new ones here.
1. switch between the previous workspace and the next Workspace
If you often use the workspace, you can use Ctrl + Alt + up/down arrow keys to easily switch. The left arrow switches to the previous workspace, And the right arrow switches to the next workspace. If Compiz is installed, you can use the Super + E shortcut to display all work zones.
2. Move the current window to another Workspace
The shortcut key Shift + Ctrl + Alt + left/right arrow keys make it easy to move the current window to the specified workspace. This shortcut key works well with the shortcut key above. If you often open many windows at work, but do not want to see the desktop and taskbar crowded with programs, you can use this shortcut to move the program to another work area, so that your desktop is much more neat.
3. Display Desktop
The Ctrl + Alt + D shortcut allows you to quickly minimize all windows and see the desktop. When all windows are minimized, you can press the shortcut key to restore the original window state.
4. Right-click the keyboard shortcut
In most programs, you can right-click to display the shortcut menu. In fact, Shift + F10 on the keyboard can achieve the same effect.
5. Restart the session to recover from the crash
Ubuntu rarely crashes completely. However, if it crashes, you can press Ctrl + Alt + Backspace to restart the session, and the session can be restored up to 90%.
6. quickly lock the screen
If you need to leave the computer for a while, you can press Ctrl + Alt + L to quickly lock the screen in case someone uses it.
7. Reverse switching window
Alt + Tab is the shortcut key for window switching. If you press SHIft, you can switch the window reversely. This shortcut key is very useful. When you press Alt + Tab too quickly and miss the window you want to switch, click shift to return to the previous window.
8. Move the window with the arrow key
Alt + F7 activates the move window function, and uses the arrow keys (top, bottom, left, right) to move to the window.
9. Display hidden files
In most cases, you do not need to see the hidden files in your "home" directory, but if you need this, you can go to Nautilus (ubuntu file manager) press Ctrl + H to display hidden files.
10. You do not need to right-click to display file attributes.
To view files/folders, right-click and select Properties. Now you can press Alt + Enter to display the Properties window.
Of course, these are just the tip of the iceberg. If you want to know more shortcut keys, not just ubuntu, but also Gmail, Google Search, Firefox, and other software, visit the Cheat Sheets page. There are 9 pdf documents for you to download.
