Comment 5 for bug 617356

in compiz, they are global, but customizable: super+e → expose; super+w → all windows on the current desktop; super+a → all windows. gnome-shell and unity put the expose mode together with the "all windows" view, wich is why I find both better than compiz in terms of window management; what makes unity better than gnome-shell, in my opinion, is the side bar which is just perfect in terms of usability and the alt+tab window switcher, which only shows the windows on the given workspace (in gnome-shel this is a major annoyance). I would suggest one more shortcut: super+space for the "main menu" (when you click on the ubuntu icon) & make the results browsable with the arrow keys. that would make unity a fast, responsive, out-of-your-way shell - just gorgeous.

Thanks for listening,
