In previous versions of Ubuntu, Super+M would open the messaging menu. In 11.04, the Super key is captured by the launcher. I have yet to find a way to quickly open the messaging menu from the keyboard.

  • Have you tried to configure another shortcut in the preferences? – Andrea Lazzarotto May 01 '11 at 08:26
  • F10 plus an unpredictable number of left or right arrow keys is a bit too much. I liked the days of before where I would queue up messages and just tap super+m to pop open the menu, see what was waiting and if nothing was important, tap it again to make the menu go away. I looked through the shortcut prefs a bit but didn't see anything obvious. Maybe I need to do more digging there. – Sean May 04 '11 at 06:07

As DoR said in the a comment, you can hit F10 , then hit the arrow keys to select the Messaging Menu.

Many good shortcuts are gone because Unity. Suggest to remap key in CCSM from "Meta" (or Super) to something else. Did that because of Gnome Do and some Compiz shortcuts
