Just a gentle reminder, saving space in the menu bar is not an issue for those of us with bigger screens. The more indicators, the better, for my use case. So hopefully removal of them will be optional per user. On 10/12/2011 08:41 AM, Matthew Paul Thomas wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED

Then there should be a way to blacklist things on a per-user basis that a user like myself does not want cluttering my Dash when I type sh for things other than shutdown. Moreover, for me it is faster to hit Ctrl+Alt+Del and click the dialog than it is to sift through things that begin with

I agree. Ctrl+Alt+Del should bring a small overlay window with several items in it, and the user should be able to move the focus in there with cursor keys. I believe that would be the best implementation. Then, all you'd have to do is press Ctrl+Alt+Del, press left or right or up or down and

Since shutting down, logging out, etc. is a relatively infrequent task, I think it's better to save the clutter in this case. The shutdown options are pretty easily available from the device menu in case you do need them and happen to be in the wrong lens to search for them. Additionally, since

+1 Completely agree, these are inappropriate in the Dash, extremely redundant clutter considering what the power cog does. Moreover, for me the utter *simplicity* of Ctrl+Alt+Del still works just fine (at least in Natty), I can't imagine what I would gain from altering the Alt+F4 binding.
