		josteink on Nov 28, 2017 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ubuntu 17.10: Return of the Gnome My main app-switching feature across machines, OSes an desktop environments has been Super+[1-9] to focus my pinned app number [1-9] on the taskbar. This works in Windows. It worked in Unity. It works with my custom i3/sway setup. I never quite got it working in Gnome/KDE though. This single key-combo is super-crucial to my flow, and if Canonical has shipped a default-config which preserves this behaviour from Unity, I'd be super happy to give it a spin.

I have the same flow on KDE.

Right click on any application, go to "Special Application Settings" and set a shortcut for it.
