yep. we're all dreaming of the perfect apps world for Linux!.
unfortunately, apps are very heterogeneous. most of the time, there are
hotkeys, often undocumented..
i don't really know how we could solve this problem; we cannot tell the
people to respect KDE or Gnome or anything else hotkeys conventions.. we
can encourage people to add hotkeys, but you know, even in opensource
software, putting your hands on a program just to add hotkeys, and then
leave the development team, is not a so good idea..
