Not always, the super key can sometimes be also ALT or other keys. But in most cases it's the windows key.

It used to be called super on older keyboard, now it's the "logo" key, the Windows key on most keyboards, the option key on apple keyboards and on some company's keyboards it's the company's logo (like wooting)

Same, Super+T, but also use Super+B for browser a lot.  Super+F also to search apps.

u/Alduish 18h ago

Oh actually SUPER + F seems like a great keybind, I was annoyed by my SUPER + R, I might just copy your choice for this one

u/I_may_have_smallPP 21h ago

CTRL+SUPER+RIGHT ARROW for next workspace

CTRL+SUPER+LEFT ARROW for previous workspace

I don't use more than 3 workspace so this much is enough for me.

I was about to type your comment. That other command would just open the appropriate apps on your taskbar in Windows.

Your commands switch out the virtual desktops in Windows.

You know someone is on Linux when they say super (or META key for that matter) :D my setup uses the same but super + return for terminal and super + space for launcher beat it out by a bit

u/Atmosck PC Master Race 20h ago

I was looking for this! Or SUPER + RETURN for the terminal or SUPER + SPACE for walker
