Over the weekend,while traveling, I noticed that I did not know

I would REALLY like a 'Recent Documents' feature....
For any apps that use the recent docs integration bits, you can just
type part of their name in the GNOME Shell overview and the document
should appear as a result. I use this quite a bit myself.
Took me a bit of thought to figure out what you probably meant by
'GNOME Shell overview'. I guessed it was that box in the upper
right what says search. And I typed in part of a document name not
opened but did have opened a little while back and it worked,
bringing up a 'recent' view showing this document as a calc doc.
Clicking on it opened it. Kind of neat.

The overview is that "zoom out" mode that you can get by hitting the
logo key on your keyboard, or Alt+F1, or hitting the upper left corner
hotspot, or clicking on the Activities menu.
Thanks for defining 'GNOME overview' for me. I missed that the logo key
is equivalent to Alt+F1. I have noticed that my system switches to
overview mode sometimes for no obvious reason....
You can actually just start typing right away without clicking
anything, and the search box is used by default. This is awesome both
because it reduces the number of actions for everyone, and also
because if you use the keyboard to switch to the overview already, you
never need to move your hand to your other input device (mouse or
trackball or what-have-you).
Yes, truly awesome. Thanks for this tip.
Now if there is a keystroke to switch from 'windows' view to
'appllications' in the overview and then to select app submenus I would
be even more thankful!
