I saw that quite a lot of keyboard shortcuts in Lazarus use Ctrl+Alt
combos.
On Windows this is not a good idea because (system wide) user shortcuts
for programs on the desktop use Ctrl+Alt combos too so they conflict
with each other.
Is it realy necessary to use Ctrl+Alt combos?
I think there should be enough Ctrl+Shift and Alt+Shift combos available
for all functions.
But maybe it's already too late to change this.

There's nothing stopping you from changing the keyboard layout.

Also Windows is not the only platform where there exists conflicts. E.g. in some desktop environments the Ctrl+Fx keys are set to switching the desktop while in Lazarus Ctrl+F2 is used for stopping an application run and Ctrl+F9 for doing a compilation...

So in my personal opinion: leave the defaults as they are. We won't ever please everyone fully... [also not everyone uses shortcut combos on Windows]
