** Description changed:
Unity 2d uses F10 shotcut to show menu,
but many applications use this key too
- a lot of IDE's bind to F10 debug function "Step over"... FireFox Firebug and
Google Chrome debugger does it

text editor Kate use F10 to toogle word wraping
I think there are more app uses it
May be unity2d should use different shotcut for mainmenu?

+ -------------------------------------------
+ Desired resolution:
+
+ - The "F10" shortcut should be changed to "Alt + F10". No "F" keys
+ should ever be used for shell shortcuts without an additional modifier
+ key. This change brings the shortcut into line with the "Alt +F1"
+ Launcher keyboard navigation shortcut.
