Ubuntu Linux useful Keyboard shortcuts
Ubuntu Linux useful Keyboard shortcuts
Use the following linux keyboard shortcuts to get yourself a productivity boost. I hope you find them useful. You'll want to add yours to the list also.

Ctrl + Alt + Left/Right Arrow :- Switch to the next/previous workspace

Shift+ Ctrl + Alt + Left/Right Arrow :- Move current window to another workspace

Alt+F7 to activate Move, then arrows key (up, down, left, right) to move the window around the screen.

Alt + Tab to Switch between windows

Alt + Tab + Shift to switch windows in reversibly.

Ctrl + Alt + D :- Show desktop. Press again to restore all windows back.

Shift + F10 :- to simulate right click.

Alt + Enter :- on a file or folder to show its properties.

Ctrl + H :- in Nautilus or few other file browsers to show hidden files.

Ctrl + Alt + Backspace :- to restart the crashed session. I am sure you'll use it rarely.

Ctrl + Alt + L :- to Lock the screen or your user session quickly.
