That is because it is irrelevant. The thread was whether to _add_ a shortcut 
default to KDE's existing one which, afaik, KDE itself does not use.

My point is, we can and should discuss defaults, shortcuts, and preferences, 
but not with the intention to convince others that specific keys must do 
specific actions. To improve useability, we need to rise above this, as hard 
as it might be.
