アプリケーションの起動

Move your mouse pointer to the Activities corner at the top left of the screen to show the Activities overview. This is where you can find all of your applications. You can also open the overview by pressing the Super key.

There are several ways of opening an application once you’re in the Activities overview:

  • Start typing the name of an application — searching begins instantly. (If this doesn’t happen, click the search bar at the top of the screen and start typing.) If you don’t know the exact name of an application, try to type an related term. Click the application’s icon to start it.

  • ダッシュボード (アクティビティ画面の左側にある、アイコンが縦に並んだ細長い領域) にアイコンが配置されているアプリケーションもあります。アイコンをクリックすると、該当のアプリケーションが起動します。

    よく使うアプリケーションは、ダッシュボードに追加しておくとよいでしょう。

  • Click the grid button at the bottom of the dash. You will see the first page of all installed applications. To see more applications, press the dots on the right, to view other applications. Press on the application to start it.

  • You can launch an application in a separate workspace by dragging its icon from the dash, and dropping it onto one of the workspaces on the right-hand side of the screen. The application will open in the chosen workspace.

    You can launch an application in a new workspace by dragging its icon to the empty workspace at the bottom of the workspace switcher, or to the small gap between two workspaces.
