    Yes, I'm saying it would be less intuitive, because almost no user would even remember a conflict with Alt+Shift combination if you ask them. It is exceedingly rare to have such conflicts, there's a whole ecosystem of Alt+Shift-compatible apps due to such hotkey being very popular. The Logo+Space being the default solves a theoretical problem, but leads an actual one of such hotkey not being common nor guessable.
    i'm writing this on windows. even microsoft agrees shift+alt was a bad idea, and they also change it to super+space. in conclusion, you are complaining over nothing.

        While I like what Gnome is doing with its applications - keep them simple and straightforward while having them more or less do what they need to do - I cannot stand the desktop itself.
