It's a tricky problem - I was joking on IRC the other day that really we need like 10 modifier keys instead of just 3, then it wouldn't be so hard to come up with a way to make things not conflict... > Still, should the combinations not stack like ctrl+shift canonize and open > in new window? alt+ctrl does already stack as expected (canonize and open > new tab).

There it is always the shift key and I have to remember only one key. Thanks for reading!
