To see Unity shortcuts press and hold the Super key.
To customize shortcuts open System settings (gnome-control-center
), go to Keyboard and select the Shortcuts tab. Explore all the categories to find what you're interested in changing and click on it to change. Then press the keys for your new shortcut.
To change the keyboard layout shortcut, in System settings go to Text Entry and change the shortcuts there.
Some of the shortcuts are impossible to change with built-in system settings GUI. Most other system-wide shortcuts are modified through dconf
as described here.
sudo apt install dconf-editor
