Rationale for Super instead of Alt? --- knome
- Not all Xubuntu users know English well. Good rationale for spreading out the shortcuts all over the keyboard rather than trying to group them, even if the shortcut key wouldn't make sense? --- knome
In my ignorant opinion, this proposed changes make not sense at all, why would we want to spread the shortcuts all over the keyboar using random letters to do stuff, and using the Super key? i know that the vast mayority of today keyboards have them, but many old ones do not. Why taking the shortcuts from alt? This really just dont make any sense. The only shortcut i think its needed to be add, is binding xfce4-popup-menu to the Super key, this wont harm those without a Super key and will bastly help those with it. --- GridCube
