Okay, that would be a solution.

However I think this is a step backward compared to Gnome-Do, because to 
much keyboard shortcuts make fast action difficult. You will have to 
think to much about shortcuts. To find few well designed shortscuts, 
which cover everything, that's the art. I have made many experiments 
about that and didn't find the perfect solution. But I came more close 
to it with Gnome2+Compiz+Gnome-Do than with Gnome3.

For example it would be better to set "open new instance of application" 
as default, because I can move to the application already running very 
easiely with Alt+Tab.

Basically, a new Desktop environment should offer two different and 
separated ways of desktop handling: "mouse only" and "keybord only". 
Keybord users should be able to put the mouse away and Mouse users 
should be able to put the keyboard away. Ideally. Mixtures like Ctrl + 
Click should be avoided for standart actions in my opinion. This would 
be a step forward. I think, Gnome 3 still could  take it. Hopefully it will.
