--- Comment #16 from Heiko Tietze <tietze.heiko@gmail.com> ---
From the W7 HIG:
<cite>
* Use function keys for commands that have a small-scale effect, such as
commands that apply to the selected object. For example, F2 renames the
selected item.
* Use Ctrl key combinations for commands that have a large-scale effect, such
as commands that apply to an entire document. For example, Ctrl+S saves the
current document.
* Use Shift key combinations for commands that extend or complement the actions
of the standard shortcut key. For example, the Alt+Tab shortcut key cycles
through open primary windows, whereas Alt+Shift+Tab cycles in the reverse
order. Similarly, F1 displays Help, whereas Shift+F1 display context-sensitive
Help.
* Don’t use the following characters for shortcut keys: @ £ $ {} [] \ ~ | ^ ' <
. These characters require different key combinations across languages or are
locale specific.
* Don’t use Ctrl+Alt combinations, because Windows interprets this combination
in some language versions as an AltGR key, which generates alphanumeric
characters.

Not sure if we have to adopt this guideline.
Personally I'm always afraid of using ctrl/alt modifiers together with function
keys because of switching to another terminal. And I can hardly imagine that
any three-finger salute is really used in the wild. We should consider to drop
those shortcuts - or reserve it for the least important functions. In other
words the more important a function is or the more frequently it is being used
the less modifiers it has to use.
Ctrl + F11 - Styles & Formatting (Changes to F11 make sense only when we also
free the other single functions keys. So this would makes it necessary to use
Ctrl+F5 for Navigator and Ctrl+F4 for Data Source.)
Ctrl + Shift + F11 - Set focus to combobox (.uno:ActivateStyleApply)
<strikeout>
Ctrl + Alt + F11 - New Style
Ctrl + Alt + Shift + F11 - Update Style
</strikeout>
To add another argument: We have Ctrl+1..9 to set some style directly, so why
not use Ctrl+0 (or ^) instead of F11? I know it breaks all familiarization...
And last but not least about transition: We need a better customization
regarding toolbar/sidebar setup anyway. We could (or rather should) add
shortcuts. And since the idea is to have an option to switch between different
layouts it could be possible to activate either the old LibO4 shortcut layout
or anything else.
