Fig. 1 Ubuntu's help of common keybindings which I would like to find too in Debian, Fig. 2 Searching desktop in super-view of Debian

enter image description here enter image description here

I am thinking if there is any hovering cheat sheet in Debian, see Fig. 1 for the corresponding feature in Ubuntu under two times of super. I am struggling to find features in Debian such as

  • show only Desktop - in Ubuntu ctrl+d but cannot find it in keybindings, not in any icons and not in Debian's search of Fig. 2
  • ...

OS: Debian 8.5
Window manager: Gnome 3.14

    That's a window-manager specific feature (and almost all of Ubuntu *comes* from Debian without noticeable improvement). Likely it exists in Debian, but was part of *testing* rather than *stable*. – Thomas Dickey Sep 03 '16 at 10:40
  • @ThomasDickey Yes, you are right. There should be something corresponding. I am trying to understand how Debianists think. – Léo Léopold Hertz 준영 Sep 03 '16 at 10:41

    Actually in this case the software involved doesn't come from Debian. Ubuntu's desktop environment and window manager, Unity, is Ubuntu-specific; that's what provides the help screen. I don't know of an equivalent in GNOME (which is what you're running on Debian), there might well be something in the documentation, or you could look at the keyboard and shortcut settings. – Stephen Kitt Sep 03 '16 at 12:03
  • @StephenKitt Is there anything corresponding for the action *Show desktop* in Debian? – Léo Léopold Hertz 준영 Sep 03 '16 at 13:41

    In the keyboard settings, in "Navigation", "Hide all normal windows" should do the trick; it doesn't have a default shortcut, you'll need to assign one yourself (click on it and press the keys you wish to use). – Stephen Kitt Sep 03 '16 at 17:43

You cannot show hovering view of keybindings in Gnome 3.14.

Stephen's answers in comments

  • No hovering help menu in Debian, like in Ubuntu (Unity).
  • Keyboard > Shortcuts > Navigation > Hide all normal windows where I set the keybinding super+d to show/hide desktop.

To have Desktop icons in Desktop

  • Tweak tool > Desktop > Icons on Desktop On

It would be really nice to find a one-liner for this task. TODO
