(Get the code!)
I have to say this seems to be a pretty significant problem, and it's a bit discouraging not to have seen this change already:
- For users with a non-standard number of fingers (or decreased flexibility, or other relevant condition), this is an accessibility issue; it's the difference between having this feature be useful and having the shortcuts being irrelevant.
- For users with uncommon types of keyboard, or an extra layer between the hardware and OS (such as a virtual machine, mentioned above), this is not a wishlist feature. It's a portability issue.
- Keyboard shortcut customizability is present in most other desktop environments for Linux. So it should not be in any sense a surprise that some people would want to be able to change these.
