Upon further reflection, that could be because I don't make use of any keyboard shortcuts on a regular basis. Maybe if I were in the habit of hitting various key combos I could empathize with Aere's caution. But, it seems like that would happen with any keyboard shortcut. I've been using ctrl+alt+f1 to bring up a console (then ctrl+alt+fn+f7) to go back to the desktop (a workaround for the mouse cursor disappearing after locking/unlocking the screen). If I accidentally hit that, I would know how to undo it. I can see how, if someone didn't know of the shortcut they could cause Aere's situation to arise. But, It's possible I could hit a different key (in the scenario I described above) and get something I wouldn't know how to get out of. It's not like the touchpad scenario doesn't already exist(?) in other ways. A solution would be if the on/off toggle were a GUI under menu-settings, and the shortcut could be enabled/disabled there? Then the user would have a reasonable expectation of knowing about the shortcut if someday they accidentally toggled the touchpad. About the documentation of keyboard shortcuts, I often wish Lubuntu had a "Welcome" screen after installation, like Mint does. Things like keyboard shortcuts could fit there. I'm sure experienced users think that would be lame. But, the way Windows is becoming controversial with its users, it seems to me like it would be good to have the basics presented to new users. It's not that bad to check "Don't show me again."
