steps to reproduce
1. not all keyboards have a Super key, so using a keyboard that has
no Super key, hit Super
expected result:
ubuntu is inclusive, so I can access Super
actual result:
ubuntu isn't inclusive, so I can't access Super
I created an add-on for Firefox called Ubiquity in Awesomebar.
Somebody asked for Ubiquity in Awesomebar.
Somebody else said that Ubiquity isn't like Linux, because Linux
commands are cryptic and Ubiquity is expressive.

I was going the emacs and vim way...
but we're making ubuntu for the masses...
so I noticed that we should go the ubiquity way...
hit Ctrl once, Dash opens, type S, see Save, discover ShotWell,
but Save is already selected, because we already decided that Save
is the default match for S,
hit enter, saves
hit Ctrl once, Dash opens, type C, see Copy, discover Compiz
Config,*
but Copy is already selected, because we already decided that Copy
is the default match for C,
hit enter, copies
hit Ctrl once, Dash opens, type F, see Find, discover Firefox,
but Find is already selected, because we already decided that Find
is the default match for F,
hit enter, finds
What do you say?

Hold control and press s to save.

Hi Ubuntu team and community,
we have to make using the keyboard a pleasing experience.
I thought about creating a shortcut for Dash, for Ubuntu
Software Store, for System Settings, but I quickly run into
conflicts. If CTRL+S is save, what is System Settings? So we
have to go like the emacs way, but better.
We hit ctrl once, but we don't hold ctrl, because that toggles
on keyboard shortcut mode.
Calm down! When we hit s, we see save. When we hit c, we see
copy. When we hit f, we see find. It's all there, the old
shortcuts.
Going back, we hit ctrl once, then we type Ubu, then see what
we're typing, then see Ubuntu One and Ubuntu Software Center,
then hit down, then Ubuntu Software Center is selected, then
hit enter, then Ubuntu opens Ubuntu Software Center for us.
That's very expressive, so that is very good, because we need
to express intent.
What do you say?
Best regards,
Pedro Bessa
