Still pursuing the alt -> alt-shift idea for my Window-key-less keyboards, I note that my original proposal to also change the alt-shift sequences to control-alt-shift doesn't make sense, since I'm not aware of any conflicts with those. So the objection that killing a client window would require two hands certainly is not an issue, since it would not change from the present default. /Don > >> >>> Alt is better (Windows key too). >> >> Not all keyboards have the Windows key.
