I'm trying to see the notification list.

The notification list gives you a way to get back to your notifications when it is convenient for you. It appears when you click on the clock, or press Super+V. The notification list contains all the notifications that you have not acted upon or that permanently reside in it.

What is Super?

Typically it sits between Ctrl and Alt. If you're lucky, it looks like this:

But sadly, it typically looks like a Windows logo. Here are some designs that you may encounter:

    @JonasStumphStevnsvig What do you mean? Back in the day, OS/2 was the stuff. – Michael Dec 14 '22 at 18:56
  • Indeed, but the proliferation of general purpose keyboards with OS/2 logo keys has never come to pass... I think most of the keys are either windoze or half-eaten apples... – JoSSte Dec 14 '22 at 20:16
  • I think the history behind this is some popular keyboard in ancient times actually had the buttons labelled META, SUPER and HYPER. But then PC keyboards had different labels, so they decided to make ALT=META and Windows=SUPER. – user253751 Dec 15 '22 at 18:18

Super is the Windows key, or the Command key if you use a Mac layout

  • Note that depending on the exact keyboard, the logo may not be the Windows logo. I used to have a laptop that came preloaded with Ubuntu and had an Ubuntu logo on the Super key, and the keyboard I’m typing this comment on has a very generic thing that isn’t any logo as far as I can tell. – Austin Hemmelgarn Dec 14 '22 at 02:54
  • @AustinHemmelgarn Yup, thanks for pointing that out. I first thought of the most common keyboard layouts we use. – Alejandro Dec 14 '22 at 10:11

Super Key is known as "Windows Key" to windows users and "Command Key" to Mac users. Generally it's between control (ctrl) and Alter (alt) button.

The super key can usually be found on the bottom-left of your keyboard, next to the Alt key, and usually has a Windows logo on it. It is sometimes called the Windows key or system key.
