Well... ok then.

I'm not a developer, I don't know how this works behind the scene. I'm just a
desktop user who likes XFCE because I can use it the way I like, at least most
things as I like.

I like the way gnome-shell behaves about keyboard shortcut, but I don't like
gnome-shell. If we can't have that way of handle keyboard in XFCE, no problem.
I will forget about it. I just whish things were more keyboard driven, as
gnome-shell.
