Danish.
Are [ and ] separate keys on a DE keyboard, or do they need AltGr?

I tend to disagree, only because the single insane shortcut I've ever
come across is the one we're discussing here..

I disagree.  I think most people will just do what I do and give up
(and be *VERY* annoyed), which is a shame.  And that's even if there
*is* some arcane way of activating the shortcut.

This is where a company like Microsoft does so much better than the
open source world - if they had invented it, they would actually have
a bunch of new users sit down, try and use the application and
immediately find that the shortcut for leaving the console *has* to be
changed.

(And it would be a top priority too, since nobody would use their crap
if it wasn't _mostly_ such a breeze to do so.)
