Public bug reported: On Ubuntu 16.04 I was used to the keyboard shortcut ctrl+Super+D to reveal the Desktop by minimizing all windows (it was not exactly the same as minimizing all windows but whatever).
That shortcut was changed at almost every major release, which was already irritating enough, but at least there always was one. Now, however, there doesn't seem to be any half-discoverable keyboard shortcut to show the desktop. I have tried Super+D, Ctrl+Alt+D (both mentioned in a bullshit article I found out by googling), and every other similar combination I can think of involving a D. Nothing works. I shouldn't have to install a tool and create a shortcut to it just to reveal the desktop. It's something basic. Especially considering that it used to be available out of the box. So sick of Ubuntu going backwards.
