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.

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.
