  1. Give me hotkeys! by Mr+Z · · Score: 2 · on Linus on SCO, and the Desktop Being 10 Years Away
    I think I remember seeing somewhere that there's a hotkey to switch between apps, but I haven't used that in over a decade in any serious fashion on any OS, so I never took note.

    Never design a UI for me then. I use [Alt]-[Tab] to switch between windows, [Alt]-[F1] through [Alt]-[F6] to switch between virtual desktops (or [Alt]-1 through [Alt]-4 when using MSVDM on my WinXP laptop), and [Ctrl]-A-<number> to switch between panes in my screen session. About the only thing I don't multiples are my vim sessions -- I no long split things vertically. (Although I used to, with splitvt .)

    I live on hot keys to hop around my highly multiplexed desktop!

    And this, perhaps, is why I'll never design a UI for others.... :-)
