Kubuntu and KDE Cheatsheet
If you are new to KDE, having recently switched from GNOME or Windows, it can be confusing to learn new terminology, programs, and keyboard shortcuts. A whlie ago, inspired by a command cheat sheet for Unix, I decided to make a cheatsheet to simplify switching to KDE. I have now updated it a bit and confirmed that it is consistent with Kubuntu Gusty Gibbon. This cheatsheet should work well for about any distributions, however. The only truly Kubuntu centric section is Install / Remove Packages.
Download
There are a few different ways you can download this cheatsheet if you're interested.
- PDF - Just your standard PDF file. This is best for printing, obviously. It seems to work fine across the PDF readers I tried.
- PNG - This is a graphic of the cheat sheet. You can use this to look at it and whatnot, but I do not recommend printing from it or the like.
- Hopefully the ODG file will be available for editing with any OpenDocument Graphics compatible program. For now, drop me an email and I'll send you a copy if you want it.
This cheatsheet obviously isn't perfect. I'd be glad to here any suggestions anyone may have in the comments below.

I am sure that these cheetsheats have their use - but an easier way is to use the 'Keyboard Shortcut' module in the control panel and set the scheme to 'Windows' or 'Mac' - something you are used to. That way, you don't have to learn new keys.
Learning new key shortcuts may be easy intellectually - but shortcuts that are used a lot are in the 'muscle memory' section - it is very hard to unlearn them.
@Binny V A: That's true. I suppose that if you are working with mostly Windows or OS X computers that it can be easier to simply use those schemes. For me, I use KDE enough that it is easier to learn the KDE shortcuts. I do know the basic Windows ones for when I need them. Where I really get confused is with other desktop environments within Linux.
