Yeah, one thing I would like to see in some future version of the  
HIG, at least for keybindings, is something along the lines of  
'required' and 'recommended', so that developers still had some  
freedom to decide which keyboard feature is more important to their  
users.  In that case, I think Ctrl-F would be fairly likely to fall  
into the 'required' category, and something like Shift-Ctrl-G into  
the 'recommended' category.

Cheeri,
Calum.
