Admittedly I have no plans to change that keystroke, because I see no way to change it intuitively without breaking something else. The Command system requires commands to be grouped, which mandates the "c" in the sequence. I find "l," for just hearing a list, much faster and more frequently used than Ctrl+l for bringing up a dialog box containing chat names. You can also do Command c shift+l to hear the list without leaving Command mode, so you can then tap a number by itself to jump to a conversation.
All that said though, I imagine some people will have more than 10 conversations open at once even though I don't tend to do this. The Command C <number> system becomes a problem in that case, so I am making Ctrl+Shift+L do what Command C Ctrl+L now does. In the next release, Ctrl+Shift+L will bring up the list of conversations.
