agree. I think a way for mouse users to discover it would be welcome.

Not actually a big change in the design, but just something they can click on.

most users will never press the super or alt keys in their lives.

I think the idea of making a feature something you must stumble upon (no matter how easy) is a poor approach.  Yes there are some things we must stumble upon and learn but shouldn't we strive to make everything as obvious as it needs to be without interfering with an overall visual theme?

You get a shortcut overview if you hold <Super> so they are pretty

easy to discover now. At some time you will accidently open the

display and get interested. I think it took me only about half an hour

to notice it.
