For our user base, the terminal is not a priority. The fact that you
know about Ctrl-Alt-T suggests it's appropriate :-)

@Vish, I asked about internationalisation earlier and the view was that
shortcuts tend to be what they are, in all languages. We can't hope to
find a single letter that maps to a concept like "Trash", there's even a
difference between the US and UK there, with Wastebasket, Trash and
Deleted Items all in common use.
