Comment (by tangobravo):
Fully configurable shortcut handling is something is waiting for R2 (and
even then I suspect it won't be possible to add that support to legacy
applications). Perhaps S&T shortcut could be configurable in time for R1,
for any users of applications that suffer a clash. I don't think the goal
should be to find an entirely non-clashing combination though.
Stack-and-tile is a new system-wide feature and it needs a good shortcut.
IMHO we can't simply try to find a shortcut that no old third-party
applications have ever used. Such a search is unbounded ("ah, look at this
HelloWorld app I just found from my old BeOS partition that uses
ctrl+alt+left to say Hi - we must again reassign the S&T shortcuts"), and
the resulting shortcuts will be inelegant (simply by virtue of the fact
that no one in BeOS history has chosen them as a good key combination).
