key shortcut to show own terminal

Question

I have a terminal already open among a bunch of stuff open and I am looking for a key shortcut to get the terminal right away. I am aware of the alt+tab combination but it's to painful to repeatedly tap tab until I reach the terminal icon.

so how can I add a key shortcut to just get the currently open terminal?

thank you for any enlightenment

You can press Super (the Windows key) and the number of the terminal's icon in the launcher to quickly open the terminal's window. For example, if it is the fifth icon, Super5 will focus the terminal window if it exists or open a new one.

• What are Unity's keyboard and mouse shortcuts?
• You can also create a custom shortcut. See Gnome 'Super-#' hotkey like in Unity for an example.
