Let's make GNOME's biggest keyboard-centric workflow easter egg a bit easier to discover: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/whiteboards/-/issues/351

Make the Super+number (super+1, super+2, etc.) dash app launcher/switcher shortcuts discoverable and documented (#351) · Issues · Teams / Design / Whiteboards · GitLab

A few months ago, @TheEvilSkeleton pointed out to me that you can launch (or switch between) apps in...

GitLab

@nekohayo It's funny how experiences change from person to person.

If my memory serves me correctly, this was one of the things I learned when I started using GNOME. I remember bumping into some number when I was holding down the super key and I thought the app had opened until I realized that it was actually the app's position in the dash. hahaha

@CleoMenezesJr I'm now thinking "Y'know what, when you hit that shortcut, it should bounce-jump the dash's launcher from the bottom of the screen, like Super Mario"  (someone should totally make an extension for that with the floating coin block bump sound)

@nekohayo But yeah, a visual warning, even a simple one, would be great. In the workspace where I place the chat apps, I simply hold down the super key and press 789, opening WhatsApp, Telegram and Fractal.

A great tip is that if you make a hard use of workspaces, you will want to group the app icons in the dash according to the workspaces.

@nekohayo This would be enhanced a thousand times if gnome had some multi-window feature like tile.

A dream:
1. workspace one, super + 1, 2
2. go to workspace 2, super +3, 4, 5
3. go to workspace 3, super +6, 7

Basically, you wouldn't even need to organize the windows. All this using just the keyboard.
