[Bug 969235] Re: Keyboard shortcuts - Update some window management shortcuts to use "Ctrl + Super" instead of just "Super"

 

John Lea pointed out in chat today that except for the Show Desktop
shortcut, the other keyboard shortcuts mentioned in the bug are new to
12.04 so there is no regression (except for beta users). I'll give my +1
from the Docs Team for those. I'll have to talk with dpm to see if this
is something we can change in ubuntu-docs now or if we need to wait for
the first SRU.

I'm not convinced yet about the Show Desktop shortcut changing though. I
think people expect either Ctrl+Alt+D (which has been used in Ubuntu
pretty consistently for quite a while and is the current default) or
Super+D (what Windows does).  I hesitate to give a +1 for this change as
I don't know if our keyboard shortcut users will appreciate the change
this late in the release cycle.

John also said "Basically we want to end up with all the window
shortcuts starting with CTRL+SUPER and all the workspace shortcuts
starting with CTRL+ALT." He further made the point that if shortcuts are
going to change, it is better to do them before the LTS which is
reasonable.
