What matters is whether we can change the defaults, not whether we agree on 
what the defaults should be.

hmm? If you'd said the forward arrow key as the shortcut for backspace, then 
you might have an argument. But your hypothesis is no different than the 
shft-ctl-f camp claiming F11 is 'completely ridiculous' and vice verse.

And if KDE doesn't use fullscreen, it doesn't have to set a shortcut.

The mistake the original poster made was assuming all apps should agree on the 
same defaults. The purpose of the defaults is to allow the developers to 
provide immediate access to the app, not satisfy every person's preference. 

I'm sorry, but this thread is typical of holy-wars which never resolve 
themselves. The whole point of configuring the keyboard is to avoid people 
arguing with developers about which keys should do what. Let the developers 
develop.

Regards,

Peter
