In the latest LTS Ubuntu release, reaching title bar settings requires maximizing the window and then hovering over it. This method feels unusual since hovering doesn’t show advanced features. Right-clicking only brings up a context menu for minimization and enlargement. There seems to be no built-in shortcut to access deeper options without expanding the window or using the mouse.

It seems the correct configuration should be found in the settings menu. I recall installing it that way, but without access to a nearby computer, I can't identify the exact location.

Switching to the top bar once the window is active displays the menu. You can adjust it using the tweak tool, and installing from the software centre lets you relocate the menus to the window bar.

These options are located in System Settings → Appearance, within the Behavior section.

Thanks for the follow-ups. Would you like me to adjust the alt-tab menu so you can have separate windows of the same app without grouping them together? Also, could we set the desktop shortcut to the Windows 10 default key, Win+D?

You might need to look into some research to achieve this. My guideline is: if you spot a GUI modification, it’s likely doable on Linux. 2) Have you verified the customizable keyboard shortcuts, which I assume are under settings?

I checked online and discovered another fix too. Unfortunately, the keyboard settings still can't handle super+d even though it's a valid rebind. It's curious that using the default keys fixed everything, which is unexpected. I had to install Compiz and rebind there, and it worked perfectly.
