Imagine Linux & You - Customizing Shortcuts

Shortcuts are like elevators. It gets hefty things done on simple press of a button. It is much better, faster and efficient then the other alternative: Stairs..!! or in our case pointing and clicking.

But Hey, with Linux you can choose your own shortcut for any shortcut you dislike. Who says Alt+C to close a window isn't smart?
