summary
not every keyboard has Super - gotcha
merge ctrl, super, alt into ctrl
make cryptic shortcuts expressive - seeing Save for S is expressive
make shortcuts discoverable in the Unity GUI - people will definitely hit or hold ctrl, will they hold Super?

you hold Ctrl
when you hold Ctrl, we put you in keyboard shortcut mode with auto enter mode on dash opens, you hit S, see what you're typing, see Save selected, discover ShotWell, release Ctrl
when you release Ctrl, the command that you typed automatically runs
so Ctrl+S does what Ctrl+S has ever done

you hit Ctrl
when you hit Ctrl, we put you in keyboard shortcut mode with auto enter mode off dash opens, you hit S, see what you're typing, see Save selected, discover ShotWell, hit enter
when you hit enter, the command that you typed automatically runs
so Super is moved to Ctrl
