Well, I've seen applications tend to mix modifier usage, and this causes
conflicts with other software, for instance, that set global keys or the

I've noticed that apps tend to mostly use Ctrl, and WM/DE tend to use Alt.

Like, Alt+1 and Alt+2 are WM-wide, but Ctrl+F6 cycles through windows
inside applications.
