How to create multiple shortcuts (on different desktops) for a single application?
 

Duplicate post from Applications forum...

Apologies if this has already been posted and answered; I could not find it on the forum.

Is it possible to have a desktop shortcut for the same application on more than one desktops? It seems to be possible for certain apps like Phone / Conversations etc. However, for applications installed later, it doesn't give an option to add the shortcut if a shortcut already exists on any of the desktops.

Thanks in advance.

just searched the threads for "Multiple Icon Desktop" and found this thread

doesnt that cover all apps, not just phone/ conversations etc?

You can only have one short cut per app. Quite daft if you ask me. Would want the phone app short cut on each of my desktops so I can get to the phone with a single press.

If you install catorise it has a useful bug which results in being able to add two shortcuts of certain apps like phone, calendar, conversations. But two is the most you can have unfortunately. I hope this gets changed so you can have four. The restriction makes no sense to me.

I usually just press the power button and then phone. its even easier if I'm not on the desktop. it works anywhere. if your on the desktop just press a letter on the keyboard.

As far as I know you can have as menu shortcuts as you wish you just have to create a .desktop file which launchs it. your app menu will get crowded though.

You have to press alt and a letter. If you just type a letter it will only take you to the address book.
