    If you have been using GNOME 3 and the GNOME Shell desktop then you will undoubtedly find this cheat sheet handy. Finding your way around the desktop without the help of a task bar can be tricky at first. While it is possible to use the mouse for each of these actions, GNOME Shell is tuned for fast keyboard navigation. Learning these keyboard shortcuts will make your transition to the GNOME Shell much easier.

    GNOME Shell Keybindings

    System (Windows) key: Switch between Activities overview and desktop
    Alt+F1: Switch between Activities overview and desktop
    Alt+F2: Pop up command dialog
    Alt+Tab: Application switcher
    Alt+Shift+Tab: Cycle in reverse direction in the application switcher
    Alt+[key above Tab]: Switch between windows of the same application in Alt+Tab
    Ctrl+Alt+Tab: Pop up accessibility switcher
    Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R: Start and stop screencast recording
    Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down arrow: Switch between workspaces
    Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Up/Down arrow: Move the current window to a different workspace

    Keybindings can be viewed and changed from here: User Menu -> System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts
