How to display Dash Home by keyboard shortcut

Question

I wish to press Super (or any other key combination) and start typing to launch programs. How do I do it? Thanks

Also, to answer your question. Move your hand over the keyboard, then down near the Windows Key, then put your Index finger on it, press it, and done!. Unless of course you actaully mean another key which then the answer from the user below is what you want.
Well, this is embarassing :-) Looks like somehow I managed to unset the key in Compiz Config Settings Manager.

Super key is default key for opening dashboard .

You can find more help from this link

or otherwise you can use Compiz Configuration Settings Manager for changing keys

install CCSM

sudo apt-get install ccsm

After that open dash and type ccsm, then go to unity plugin option

unity plugin

Change key from here.

super key is the default key for "dash home". By the way, press super key and hold it, and it will show you all keyboard shortcuts.
