Hi All,

The keyboard shortcuts ion desktop environment have generally been defined with the use of a supporting key - Control , Alt, Shift (or command in case of OSX). On other hand newer web apps like gmail use just alphabet key - http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=6594

I think it is easier to just a single alphabet key and not be confused if something was Cntrl + C or Alt + C etc.. But I also wonder if using a single alphabet as shortcut break user's mental model in any way..

Any thoughts, opinions, research on which approach is better?

Regards
Alok Jain
