Here lies some steps of things to unfuck some default settings from Ubuntu and or its default applications, desktops, etc that I find awful.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Super+R "Run" Behavior
- Expectation: Mimic Windows 'run' behavior with Super (aka windows key) + R Key combo:
- Reality: nah
- Fix: Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts, Show the run prompt map to Super+R
Alt-Tab
- Expectation: Switch between windows including important visual cues (highlight window, show a popup of windows)
- Reality: By default, it switches between app groups, not windows (like OSX does)
- Fix: Nothing great, Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts, re-map key to use the Alt-Esc method instead (which highlights borders but does not show pop up)
File manager
- Expectation: When browsing a list of files, start typing to skip to that section
- Reality: When you start typing it starts doing a filesystem search
- Fix: Replace the default Nautilus file manager with nautilus-typeahead
Terminal
- Expectation: Have reasonable shortcuts to open new tabs, set tab titles, and cycle through them
- Reality: Nah (cant set tab titles at all), shortctuts are different than expected
- Fix: Use ```xfce4-terminal``` instead
