That list of keyboard shortcuts is extremely useful – I’m a big fan of keyboard shortcuts; in Windows I run AutoHotKeys to map shortcuts to programs and websites.

I’ve been a satisfied Ubuntu user for a good few years now, currently running 11.04. I guess I’m reasonably positive about the new direction taken with the Unity interface, although there are a few frustrating rough edges. I’m looking forward to a more polished version of it in 12.04.

A good tip for Unity productivity is to familiarise yourself with the keyboard shortcuts – see http://askubuntu.com/questions/28086/what-are-unitys-keyboard-and-mouse-shortcuts

It seems that these will be an ‘overlay hint’ in 12.04: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/unity-shortcut-overlay-coming-to-ubuntu-12-04/
