TIP: Compiz Features and Shortcuts

[kristian.hermansen at gmail.com (Kristian Hermansen)]

Microsoft's Windows Vista and Apple's Mac OS X both have modernized
the desktop in recent releases.  Since OpenSUSE and Ubuntu are
bringing compiz to the masses, the "Desktop Effects" era is upon us.
Here is a list of compiz-related features and shortcuts.  You will
want to keep these handy in conjunction with the release of Ubuntu
Feisty, which officially comes out in a few weeks.  Turning on
Ubuntu's "Desktop Effects" is as simple as clicking one checkbox after
installation.  This comes a long way from the days when I had to jump
through hoops to get compiz running in 2005.  And it is much faster as
well.  One of the greatest features is native transparency, which is
as simple as ALT+(mousewheel up/down) while hovering over an
application.  But this is just one of the many features available.
Here is a full list and how to use those features:
