Title:
  Unity Standard Shortcuts: Make it easier for Windows users

Status in Ayatana Design:
  New
Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Problem:

  Windows users are used to certain standard shortcuts. It could be less
  complicated for them coming over if Ubuntu would start to mimic some
  of those...

  For example:

  Alt+F4 to close a window (which is the same standard we are already
  using)

  Others are for example:

  Alt+Enter to switch between fullscreen/windowed (we have no default 4
  that, but a CCSM option: CCSM->Extra WM Actions->Toggle Fullscreen)

  Ctrl+Alt+Del to open the task manager (we have no shortcut for that, and Ctrl+Alt+Del invokes the logout dialogue, which of course will frustrate windows users trying Ubuntu)
  see also: bug 890747

  I think those 2 mentioned above are the most important ones, which
  come to mind and frustrated myself a longer while ago, when I first
  tried GNU/Linux. Of course an experienced user can change that
  behaviour easily, but this bug report is not about them... ;)
