    I agree. I'm no fan of MS products but I am frustrated when hotkeys are missing when I spin up a new Linux distro or DE. Close & minimize in the corner, dragging and resizing windows with the borders, alt+tab, and what typically is missing is super hotkeys, like moving a window to half of the screen. Super+r or Super+e is also missing in most default Linux setups, and I really miss that fast access to a file browser or run window.

    "I really miss that fast access to a file browser or run window."

    It's called a terminal.

      A terminal is not a file browser.

        ls and cd still work just fine for me.

          Yeah? Is there an equivalent of image thumbnails?

          You don't even need ls to show you files if your shell offers you instantanious filtering by filename with tab-completion.

    Alt-F2 takes care of your "run" needs in most Linux setups. If you didn't already have half a dozen tabs open in a terminal emulator.

      Alt-F2 working implies the operation of one's Linux system within the crutches of a desktop environment.

      Those of use who eschew desktop environments as the crutches they are don't have Alt-F2 wired up to do anything, unless we damn well want it to do something. Then we modify our Fvwm2 config so it works, exactly the way we want at the time.
