Bug Description
Problem:
Windows users are used to certain standard shortcuts. It could be less complicated for them coming over if Ubuntu would start to mimic some of those...
For example:
Alt+F4 to close a window (which is the same standard we are already using)
Others are for example:
Alt+Enter to switch between fullscreen/windowed (we have no default 4 that, but a CCSM option: CCSM->Extra WM Actions->Toggle Fullscreen)
Ctrl+Alt+Del to open the task manager (we have no shortcut for that, and Ctrl+Alt+Del invokes the logout dialogue, which of course will frustrate windows users trying Ubuntu)
see also: bug 890747
I think those 2 mentioned above are the most important ones, which come to mind and frustrated myself a longer while ago, when I first tried GNU/Linux. Of course an experienced user can change that behaviour easily, but this bug report is not about them... ;)
