The meta key is the key between the <key>Ctrl</key> and <key>Alt</key> keys on your keyboard. It may sometimes be called the <em>Windows</em> key, <em>logo</em> key, <em>system</em> key, or even the <em>Ubuntu</em> key. If you have an Apple keyboard, there will not be a meta key on your keyboard. The <key>Command (Cmd)</key> key can be used instead.

The meta key serves a special function in <em>Unity</em>. If you press the <em>meta</em> key, the Dash is displayed. If you press <em>and hold</em> the meta key, the Launcher will be displayed.

The meta key can help you do even more than that, though. To learn about more uses for the <em>meta</em> key, see the <link xref="shell-keyboard-shortcuts">keyboard shortcuts</link> page.
