I think itás worth a discussion. Most of the apps included in the default 
install are Gnome apps, having the Gnome keyboard (Ctrl+S for Save, Ctrl+Z for 
Undo, Ctrl+O for Open, Ctrl+N for new) shortcuts. There are only a few 
exceptions. OO.o is one of them. Why do not make them consistent? 
One of the main reason for the introduction of the indicators was the lack of 
consistency in the old notification area as a usability issue. Doesn't this 
apply to the shortcut keys too? 
Different shortcuts for the same actions in different applications mean 
behavioral inconsistencies. It happened to me too, that I pressed Ctrl+Y and 
nothing happened (I am used to the Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y too). It took me some time 
to realize that the Gnome shortcut for Redo is Ctrl+Shift+Z in that particular 
application.
I am not saying that the keyboard shortcuts should all follow the gnome scheme, 
but only that they should follow the same scheme for the most common actions 
(New, Open, Save, Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Help). 
Does this make sense?
