Bug Description

The trash is not nearly important enough to be worth having super+t bound to showing it.

Moreover, pressing super+t repeatedly opens multiple instances of the trash, rather than switching to the one you have open.

I would prefer to be able to assign super-t to opening a terminal. Much more useful then trash imho

We already have ctrl-alt-t, which has been around for a long time and is
widely supported on Linux desktop environments.

The terminal is not a consumer experience priority, no matter how much
you or I might use it. Super+ bindings should be used for things which
are a consumer priority.

Already sufficient keycodes:

  Super+t (open Trash)
  Ctrl+Alt+t (open Terminal)
