Una de las cosas esenciales son los atajos de teclado, más que todo por un tema de salud que por moverse rápido/ser productivo. Quizá la más famosa es la combinación, pulsadas al mismo tiempo de: "Alt" + "Tab"; desde luego que el "Tab" no aparece por ningún lado, es la tecla arriba de "Bloq Mayús".

Entonces para configurarlos vamos al Menú > Sistema > Preferencias > Hardware > Atajos de teclado

Durante varios meses atrás, estaba considerando seriamente cambiar la apariencia destribución de los paneles. ¿Por qué? 💿 Aprovechar al máximo la pantalla↕️ 💿 Por ergonomía -aunque ALGO es relativo- 💿 Renunciar a íconos innecesarios y usar atajos de teclado

¿Qué hice?

⚠️ Eliminar el panel inferior y mover la lista de ventanas Ahora lucen como botones en el panel a la izquierda de la pantalla -la posición óptima e idónea-. ⚠️ Eliminar el menú y poner el menú compacto La verdad me gustaba ver los atajos de "Aplicaciones-Lugares-Sistema"; tuve que crear uno para "caja" el explorador de archivos. NOTA. Puedes crear un "cajón" de aplicaciones, donde metes/arrastras un montón de lanzadores/accesos directos de los programas que estaban en el panel -si son muchos-.

En el próximo artículo voy a escribir sobre los atajos del teclado, pues nos facilitan mucho la vida en cualquier escritorio, pero en Mate se configuran SÚPER RÁPIDO; de la misma manera que moviéndose con las teclas "Alt" + "↔️" la que está sobre la tecla "Bloq Mayús", presionadas al mismo tiempo.
