Then the answer is, there is no point in losing it since these people are 
better off using the windows combos anyway if they want to avoid 
confusion.

I really want to avoid a repeat of konqueror where very obscure keycombos 
have to be used for plugins like cervisia just because all the nice ones 
are used with arguments like Simons.
Start krita and see that there already are shortcut clashes. Its very 
annoying to see that 19 of the 26 normal letters are already taken by 
KDE. Makes sane design of keyboard shortcuts just that much harder.

Reading back, I guess the most obvious solution is missed; both mac and 
win know about ctrl-shift-z, you say? (which makes a really simple to 
press triangle here), so all KDE using people can just get used to that 
on those platforms, right?
