#6 tips
[I wiped it. I just updated it and lost some of it]

* ALT + Tab to view the current program

* The logo key/Alt + F1 displays the current work partition application. Press and hold the same key to return to the original work window.

* Alt + F9 minimizes the current window

* Drag the current window to the top of the screen to automatically maximize the value;

* When an application is opened, right-click the top menu and exit the application.

* The "Shut Down" key is hidden. Select "Suspend" and press the alt key to display "shutdown. It is said that the official recommendation is to suspend/standby, generally do not need to shut down

* The System Tray Icon is located in the lower right corner. IM empathy can reply here

* Screensaver

The screen saver has been canceled in gnome3, but can be set for a period of time, the screen will be automatically dimmed and closed. On the screen, set the total brightness of the panel and lock the two directories. In the brightness, you can specify the wait time for the screen to be disabled, in the lock option, the time is optional (the button below the lock displays "open") And you can adjust the lock wait time freely.

* Shortcut key setting: press alt + F2 and enter gconf-editor. The following example shows how to set the terminal shortcut key crt + alt + t.

@ 1, open the apps> metacity> keybinding_commands folder in sequence, and select a command (command_1 ~ Command_12). Suppose we select command_1 and the edit value is the program to be executed. Add/usr/bin/gnome-terminal.

@ 2: select the global_keybindings directory under the metacity directory, find the command_1 (run_command_1) that we have previously assigned a value, and edit its value as the shortcut key we want to set. For example: T (note the format) indicates the shortcut key T open the terminal.
