So you common functions like fullscreen should have 3-key shortcuts, 
not single-key shortcut, but very specific per-app functions should 
have single-key shortcuts per default?

I think it should opposite -- common functions should be easily 
accessible, per-app functions can be 2-keys shortcuts (3-keys 
shortcuts should be avoided -- try to press such combo with one 
hand).

And still -- the number of dolphin+kalzium+... users are much lower 
than MSIE users. Sure, painful change for those who are already used 
to F11 but I say it is better to make some order now than later when 
the problem will get only bigger.

Cheers,
