And we should not needlessly steal shortcuts from applications. In doubt don't set a shortcut by default. At the current time this would only result in a degrated user experience: either an in-application shortcut, which we don't know that it existed, started to break, or the user presses the shortcut and gets hit by surprise what happens. It's totally unexpected behavior to open this menu.

In General you are right and we work on aa shortcut strategy, but it need time and in the end everybody will say. Dont Change my shortcut workflow.

Why There are two global shortcuts available in klipper. Arent They hidden functionality?

What Is your user scenario for klipper?
