How to display Dash Home by keyboard shortcut

I wish to press Super (or any other key combination) and start typing to launch programs. How do I do it? Thanks


Super key is the default key for opening dashboard.

You can find more help from this link

or otherwise you can use Compiz Configuration Settings Manager for changing keys

install compizconfig-settings-manager

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

After that open dash and type ccsm, then go to unity plugin option

unity plugin

Change key from here.


super key is the default key for "dash home". By the way, press super key and hold it, and it will show you all keyboard shortcuts.
