@sambit: Thanks for the comments, I tried gloobus, it’s quite nice but not ready yet. I’ve filed a blueprint on Launchpad https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/uniform-keyboard-shortcuts.

@Alexei: I’ve no idea, I use only one keyboard layout.

Have any idea how to apply shortcuts on key up, not key down event only?

This could be usefull, for example on keyboard layout switch.

If language toggle is mapped on Ctrl+Shift, and at the same time you have any other shortcuts that uses Ctrl+Shift keys, you’ll face some troubles.
If you have Ctrl+Shift+R shortcut, you are pressing Ctrl, then Shift… argh keyboard layout is switched, and you don’t have R anymore
In Windows layout switch is mapped on key release, so language will not be switched until you release both Ctrl and Shift buttons, and you have not pressed any other key at this time.

I also recommend installing gnome-do (default shortcut = `(grave)) since i never use that key… ever.

+ gloobus (but you need to disable gloobus for gtk apps when changing their shortcuts)

these apps make the interactions with gnome a breeze.

if you change the default shortcut in ccsm to ctrl+q (close window).. this is more like quit application in mac. and in linux, most apps quit when the window is closed right?

this way, you can close tabs in firefox/gedit/terminal without closing the application!

ctrl+backspace = move to trash (another shortcut for nautilus)

genius!

thanks so much. Ive been trying to solve this issue for more than a year! I really think the mac guys nailed the keyboard shortcuts.. lets see how UI-design/programming-design changes after multi-touch “custom(app specific) keyboards” effectively destroy the default qwerty world.

once again, thanks for this tutorial. will make my time in gnome much easier…
