Any chance the defaults could be changed in a future version? Having defaults working well for most people could have a value and make it easier for new users even if it is possible to customize at will. In my opinion having those starting with Ctrl+Alt+... would be more conventional for shortcuts that are "global/desktop/VM-wide". See for example: - Ctrl+Alt+F? for switching virtual terminal - Ctrl+Alt+Del for shutdown/reboot - Ctrl+Alt+Backspace for killing X (?) - Ctrl+Alt as the special key combination in KVM and VMWare While Ctrl+Shift+... could be used by local applications. Most notably as mentioned above for the terminal applications. However, a workaround I found for the terminal clash is to instead re-learn to use Shift+Insert for pasting.
