On: It’s time to fix the window controls (ubuntu 10.04)

Yeah I know that trick ... but it's not quite the same as ALT+(underlined character of the menu item) thing on other systems. For fast typists, it's pretty awkward to hit the  first and then use arrow keys to move around. I wanna go directly to "File" menu by hitting SUPER+F, for example :|

Well you can hit control+f2 and then hit F for file. :)

Yes I could do that ... but I left the F1-12 keys on my MacBook to its default, which controls dim the screen, volume and stuff like that. So to press CTRL+F2 I actually have to press FN+CTRL+F2. Try this combination on a MacBook (with only the left CTRL) and see how awkward it feels ... It completely screws the experience of "shortcuts".
