Idea #8052: Coherent key shortcut policy

Written by henk0775 the 4 May 08 at 10:57. Category: System. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
Shortly:
Ctrl+key for apps shortcut
Alt+key for DE
Windoze key (I don't know yet if it is meta or super :-D) for compiz or metacity or the others.

Sometimes this design is followed, but not always

Alt is for DE and Ctrl is for app.

Ctrl+B = bold font (app)
Ctrl+U = underline (app)
Alt+F4 = Close window (window management)

Ehem.... yes.
But Alt+up in nautilus open parent, Alt+Home in Firefox open home. You have right, no problem, but I want it is consistent!

All shortcuts except Alt+Home and F11 are with Ctrl.
Firefox only have 1 shortcut key that use Alt, all the rest are Ctrl.

I would vote for your idea, if it was correct (ctrl for app / alt for wm).
