Newbie to Ubuntu here, running LTS 15.04 and I installed brackets I know I can go to Search your computer and find the (windows term) exe that way, but I want to place a shortcut on my desktop to launch this file. How would I do this?

  • locking it to the launcher ads it to the launcher on the left side of the screen. I need it to be on the desktop.
