Comment (by axeld):
The option key was never a system reserved modifier in BeOS or Haiku, so I
agree with tangobravo that it does not make much sense to search for an
unused shortcut. There probably is none.
Instead, I would suggest a dual approach:
1. Switch to acceptable shortcuts that are not known to be used by any
important application. John's suggestion might be a good choice, I don't
know.
2. Add a "Stack & Tile" tab to the Appearance preferences application, and
let the user choose between a selection of shortcuts. It's not a good
solution, mind you, but it's the only way to make sure to please every
application and user out there without going the full way and implement a
configurable shortcut system.
