Well I could add the dash and do that which would be slightly less bad
but still not great. Using the keyboard means switching mouse/keyboard
and for a lot of stuff Gnome 3 is actually ok if you avoid the mouse. If
I'm doing stuff like detailing graphical work then having to keep going
poking at the keyboard to flip back/forth is annoying to say the least.
