[Usability] gnome-terminal shortcuts

[Tomasz Janowitz <logan77 o2 pl>]

I have a question regarding gnome-terminal shortcuts, namely: what are the
'shift's standing for ? Wouldn't it be easier to have them as in other apps
? 'ctrl+t' - new tab, 'ctrl+q' - quit terminal. Is this because of lack of
control of jobs assigned to terminal tabs, so one could prevent undesired
closing of a tab performing some task ? If not, then what ?

Regards.
