When in fullscreen mode, I Alt-Tab, if there is no other window open, the only place I can go is back to the program I am in, there seems to be no option to go to the desktop. and open another app. Am I missing something?
This is not about changing desktops, it is about going from app to desktop, where I seem to be missing something.
The default keyboard shortcut to jump to the desktop is Super+D — "Super" being the Windows key.
How do You create these Key Symbols?
Discourse supports various formats, not just markdown. This is why you can type something like <kbd>Super</kbd> and it will render as Super.
I also use something called HTML entities to render various symbols:
| Symbol | Entity Name |
|---|---|
| — | — |
| → | → |
| ← | ← |
 |
™ |
| © | © |
| $ | $ |
| € | € |
| ¥ | ¥ |
This table ↑ uses markdown.
And this code snippet ↓ uses BBC:
.selector {
background-color: red;
}Whereas this one ↓ uses markdown, although they look identical:
.selector {
background-color: red;
}
Awesome! Thank you!
Edit: I just noticed, pressing only the windows/super key, gives the same feedback as "Alt-Tab".
I suppose you mean that it brings up the applications overlay, where you can see all the running programs and the desktops, like this?
Ah, okay. Thank You. That works Super! I've bookmarked it, hahaha!
Yes. That.
That's the applications overlay (I think the actual name is "activities overview"), which works very similarly. You can change the behavior of the Super key to open the Zorin menu, instead, although this will work only for certain layouts that have the taskbar enabled. You can do this through Zorin Appearance → Interface → Left Super Key.
If you are curious, there are also other keyboard shortcut variants that you can use to cycle through your opened windows:
Alt+Esc: Change focus between all windows in the current workspace. This can be helpful to better visualize the window you need to focus since it will bring it up front, and you can see the window size and contents.
Alt+`: Change focus between different windows of the same program. This can be helpful if you have two separate instances of the same program. For example, two windows of the file manager on separate locations. It works across workspaces, too.
This is very easy to use if you're using an English keyboard/layout, but might be tricky with other languages.
As an Addition: There would be the Option to use ArcMenu instead of the Zorin StartMenu. Then it would work permanently to open the StartMenu instead of the Overview.
