<gui>Activities</gui> corner at the top left of the screen to show the
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
<gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview. This is where you
|

can find all of your applications. You can also open the overview by pressing
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
the <key xref="keyboard-key-super">Super</key> key.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
You can start applications from the
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
<gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Applications</gui> menu at the top
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
left of the screen, or you can use the <gui>Activities</gui> overview by
|

pressing the <key xref="keyboard-key-super">Super</key> key.

6d2957 |
(If this doesn’t happen, click the search bar at the top of the screen
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
and start typing.) If you don’t know the exact name of an application, try

Some applications have icons in the dash, the vertical strip
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
of icons on the left-hand side of the <gui>Activities</gui> overview.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
Click one of these to start the corresponding application.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
If you have applications that you use very frequently, you can
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
<link xref="shell-apps-favorites">add them to the dash</link>
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
yourself.

6d2957 |
</item>
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
<item>
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
Click the grid button at the bottom of the dash. You will see the
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
frequently used applications if the <gui style="button">Frequent</gui>
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
view is enabled. If you want to run a new application, press the
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
<gui style="button">All</gui> button at the bottom to view all the
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
applications. Press on the application to start it.

You can launch an application in a separate
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
<link xref="shell-workspaces">workspace</link> by dragging its icon from
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
the dash, and dropping it onto one of the workspaces on the right-hand
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
side of the screen. The application will open in the chosen
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
workspace.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
You can launch an application in a new workspace by dragging
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
its icon to the empty workspace at the bottom of the workspace
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
switcher, or to the small gap between two workspaces.

Another way of launching an application is to press
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
<keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>F2</key></keyseq>, enter its
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
command name, and then press the <key>Enter</key> key.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
For example, to launch <app>Rhythmbox</app>, press
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
<keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>F2</key></keyseq> and type
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
‘<cmd>rhythmbox</cmd>’ (without the single-quotes). The name of the app is
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
the command to launch the program.
