Having used Ubuntu exclusively for about two years now, I have learned many handy little tricks that I probably use regularly without even thinking. However, I am still quite amazed at the number of simple desktop tricks I am discovering all the time, increasing my ability to work (or play) quickly and efficiently.

The following is a small collection of features that are really useful, easy to remember and (I believe) not too widely known. They were compiled from various forum discussions I have read or been involved in. Hope you find something useful to you.
