I have to press F10 and then left-arrow-key SIX times to reach the Network Menu. This isn't workable for something I need to access on a daily basis. It's too many key presses. Just for comparison, I can accomplish the same action in Windows (i.e., keyboard access to the Network Menu) with two key presses. Which method are users going to navigate to? If the mission is to improve usability, scrubbing doesn't cut it in this regard.
This is a major thing for people using netbooks and laptops who need regular access to the Network Menu. Some Lenovo Thinkpad Xxxx models don't even come with a touchpad. Users of these models rely on keyboard shortcuts and value one that are quick, efficient and productive. If not ALT 1-0 then something else needs to be implemented.

Just press F10, then left arrow key. Perhaps could still be a "nice to have" but that's not my decision. And the more keyboard shortcuts Unity/Compiz takes, the less are available for applications to use. We already have dozens of shortcuts.
