[edit] Introduction

This is simple How To on setting the Super button (the keyboard key with a house icon on it) to toggle on the ume-launcher.

The ume-launcher sits on the desktop, so all you need to do is change the "show desktop" key binding to that key. The default keybinding of Ctrl + Alt + d is easy to use, but using the Super button simply makes more sense.

[edit] Instructions

  1. From Home, select the Preferences menu, followed by Keyboard Shortcuts
  2. Scroll down and click on Hide all windows and focus desktop (it's in the Windows Management section)
  3. Press the Super button

Now on top of using the go-home-applet, just use the Super button on your keyboard to accomplish the same thing. This key binding acts as a toggle, so you can go back and forth from your active window to the ume-launcher.

Experiment with other key bindings through the Configuration Editor to make other applications and commands even simpler to run on your Eee pc using Ubuntu-eee. Custom term papers
