title: Gnome 3 and key shortcuts

One of the things which surprised me very much when using Gnome-shell on
regular basis (which I have been doing with interruptions for more than
the last year) is how pleasant experience is to use Gnome-shell for
rodent haters. As I am used to the trend that software tends to move
from useful to shiny and “cool” (the last word is meant to be an
offense), I was surprised to find out that I actually use the rodent
less than I used to with Gnome 2 and Metacity.

Of course, Gnome-shell in Fedora 15 is `version 1.0`_
so there are some obvious bugs present. For one, I haven’t found a way
how to do assignment of a custom key shortcut to a menu item (in Gnome 2
you would just print the short cut with the menu item selected) |Which
'Z' wins?| Well, for second, what will happen when I press Alt+Z now? :)
