Hi, can anyone tell me what is the UX supposed to be for ubuntu Menu? How am I supposed to know what the buttons do? There is no "hover over it" to know. In my case I am trying to find out what does the second button from the left do, because "Super" key stopped working and I read somewhere that it's possible to lock it (whaat?).

  • What documentation have you looked at? The standard desktop for Ubuntu 18.04 is GNOME, so GNOME documentation is useful, let alone Ubuntu documentation. For example https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/ might be a good start (that's the stable or latest version, ie. 19.10, most will apply perfectly to 18.04) – guiverc Nov 02 '19 at 02:32
  • https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/shell-exit.html.en - doesn't say anything about the icon I have – cradox23 Nov 02 '19 at 02:39
  • or this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/shell-introduction.html.en#systemmenu – cradox23 Nov 02 '19 at 02:39

The Rotation Lock (2nd icon from the left in the screenshot from GNOME desktop environment) toggles the screen to/from portrait mode ⟷ landscape mode.

The four icons from left to right are as follows:

  • Settings
  • Rotation Lock
  • Lock Screen
  • Power Off
