John Lea pointed out in chat today that except for the Show Desktop shortcut, the other keyboard shortcuts mentioned in the bug are new to 12.04 so there is no regression (except for beta users). I'll give my +1 from the Docs Team for those. I'll have to talk with dpm to see if this is something we can change in ubuntu-docs now or if we need to wait for the first SRU.
I'm not convinced yet about the Show Desktop shortcut changing though. I think people expect either Ctrl+Alt+D (which has been used in Ubuntu pretty consistently for quite a while and is the current default) or Super+D (what Windows does). I hesitate to give a +1 for this change as I don't know if our keyboard shortcut users will appreciate the change this late in the release cycle. John also said "Basically we want to end up with all the window shortcuts starting with CTRL+SUPER and all the workspace shortcuts starting with CTRL+ALT." He further made the point that if shortcuts are going to change, it is better to do them before the LTS which is reasonable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969235 Title: Keyboard shortcuts - Update some window management shortcuts to use "Ctrl + Super" instead of just "Super" Status in Ayatana Design: Triaged Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “compiz-plugins-main” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Change the following window management shortcuts from: Super + D Minimises all windows Super + Cursor up Maximises the current window Super + Cursor down Restores or minimises current window Super + Cursor Left or Right Semi-maximises current window to: Ctrl + Super + D Minimises all windows Ctrl + Super + Cursor up Maximises the current window Ctrl + Super + Cursor down Restores or minimises current window Ctrl + Super + Cursor Left or Right Semi-maximises current window Rational: SUPER triggers the launcher, and the actions listed above do not require launcher interactions. As a result, using SUPER on it's own for these interactions has resulted in false positives where the launcher is revealed even though it provides no benefit for these interactions. Adding CTRL to the beginning of these shortcuts solves this problem, and also makes the shortcuts more congruous with the 'Ctrl + Alt + Cursor Keys' workspace shortcuts.
