I don't have a whole lot to add to the discussion just yet (but allowing e.g. 
<kbd>RMB</kbd> or even <kbd>MMB</kbd> is a neat idea to double or triple the 
options at hand), but:

Actually, given GNOME uses <kbd>Super</kbd>, <kbd>Alt</kbd> might be a better 
default.  I can actually change the modifier in my WM, and maybe others (maybe 
even GNOME Shell??), so that's also an option.  I don't even remember what the 
default is for mine, I might very well have changed it 10+ years ago and 
forgotten about it.
If it's configurable, I don't think it's a big deal, but it should be 
reasonable for "most" users.

Well, it's just unreasonable to have "fixed key combo" :slightly_smiling_face: 
: not everybody has a 105 keyboard with a boring keymap. And -- sit down, it's 
gonna be huge -- keyboards got even weirder keys since the early 70s (media 
keys, random accelerators and whatnot), so not only is it unrealistic to list 
them all, but just think about the sheer amount of entries -- even with your 
105 US layout keyboard, you still got 105 keys and at *least* 3 modifiers if 
not 4 (I have like ~5).
So… no, I don't think it's a good idea indeed :grin: 

We could even argue something similar for mice, there can be more than 3 
buttons (or less *cough* macos *cough*) I hear.
