shortcuts on tooltips

 

Hi,

unity shows all shortcuts to a user when the user holds Super,
but users are unlikely to try Super+a, then Super+b, then Super+c
until Super+z, because if they do something wrong, they can't go back,
because Unity has no Ctrl+Z, so they're unlikely to hold Super at all.


I want to mouse over the trash icon and see how to open the trash folder using my keyboard.
A tooltip would show "Trash (Super+T)".

Then, I want to mouse over Search and see how to launch Dash and focus the Search bar using my keyboard.
A tooltip would show "Dash Search (Super)".

Then, I want to mouse over More Applications and see how to launch Dash and open More Applications using my keyboard.
A tooltip would show "More Applications (Super+A)".

So, I want to mouse over any Unity thing and see how to bring it to life using my keyboard.
A tooltip would show "the unity thing (the unity shortcut thing)".

Best regards,
Pedro Bessa
