It's a good suggestion. I think it requires a fuller assessment of the 
different shortcuts.
One part of this is that shortcuts are important for accessibility, and some of 
them can be considered "part of the experience" for users with certain 
disabilities. The second thing, is that being a scarce resource, shortcuts need 
to arranged and mapped to functions carefully.

What I recommend is that:
1. Luke draws a complete panorama of the shortcuts proposed for a11y reasons 
and how they need to map to the Unity word
2. Design reviews that list and ensures the mapping is consistent with the 
overall organization of the Unity shell and the general usability directions 
that have been followed.
3. We file a list of bugs/tasks for fixing the shortcuts that need to be 
remapped.
