keyboard hotkeys for new windows

[Peter Li <chinasaurli gmail com>]

Hi, sorry if this is 100% redundant.  I didn't find it in the list 
archives or the WWW gnome.org docs.

I really like Gnome Shell (fc15), but one frustration is that it is 
difficult to get new windows open from the keyboard.  If I use the 
special key, then type a few letters of the app name, then press enter, 
I can quickly get any app open.  This is great and I like the 
flexibility (better ways?).  The problem I have is that if the app is 
already open I don't know any keyboard shortcut that will open a new 
window instead of taking me to the already open window.  Ctrl-Enter or 
something would be nice...

Also, when getting apps by typing their names, would be nice if the l/r 
arrows could also be used to navigate through the results, instead of 
only u/d.

Best,
P
