To switch a task in Ubuntu, you could do it the Windows way: ALT-TAB. You could also go to the taskbar in the bottom of the screen, and click the right icon. But there’s another way. Move your mouse to the taskbar so it’s visible. Now use the scrollwheel of your mouse. It “scrolls” through your running applications, just like ALT-TAB would do, but faster. And without touching the keyboard.
