Hello Everyone,

I got disgusted with the way Microsoft keeps messing up my computers with its updates, so I installed Mate on my Debian system. However, I miss the convenience of
the Windows desktop. Ctrl+alt+d is suposed to start a desktop. However, it does nothing. I would like something
Srrange. This is the shortcut to go to the desktop, yes. The same as windows-m on a Microsoft system
See alt-f1, preferences - Harware - Shortcuts. The shortcut should be set here 


like the Windows desktop with first-letter

navigation to the apps I use most, the trash, Etc. What are the steps for setting one up?
In Linux, to reach an app on your desktop, press the first letters of the word (eg. ho for home folder). Unlikely Windows, you cannot press the first letter and make scroll the apps, you need to enter the first letters of the word.
To put an app on the desktop, shift-f10 on the app, add the launcher to desktop 

Regards



Thanks,
John
