Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
Right now, it's only possible to show the pannel (unless you have it always on) is to move the cursor to the top left corner.
The intuitive action is to move the cursor to the left edge of the screen (and since the hit target is larger, it's easier).
Moreover, the "Super" key does not call the panel, but rather the Dash, and IMHO it should show the panel itself (this one is a minor concern, however).
Thank you for your attention.

the launcher can be shown by holding the super key.
as for showing the launcher, left hand edge is too false-positive prone. throwing the mouse to the top left is very learnable (see gnome shell also) and we've found that users quickly adapt as soon as they discover it. we're doing what we can to make sure we make it more discoverable, faster.
