I just upgraded to 11.10 from 11.04. Previously the shortcut to show the desktop was Super key + D (same as in Windows), But now it is not working. What is the new shortcut?

after it shows my desktop,I just take my cursor to the far left of the screen and the launcher appears.. however, I needed to know if there is a way we can change this shortcut back to 'Super' + d ?? – Swapnil Narendra Oct 25 '11 at 0:03

@Swapnil Narendra: Yes. You can do it by reassigning the shortcut. in keyboard utility on the shortcut tab select navigation then you can see a shortcut named 'Hide all normal windows' change it's shortcut to Super +d – aneeshep Nov 4 '11 at 4:44
@shymik: It hides the launcher too.. – aneeshep Nov 4 '11 at 4:45

Control+Super+D Also works for 13.04 raring (currently beta). – Arda Apr 2 at 7:41
