cmd-option space default key combo conflicts with OS
Status: Alpha

Nothing too important, since it can be changed by the user.
By default, Desktop Manager uses the "cmd-opt-space" hotkey
combo for "Fast Desktop Create". This key combo, which is defined
by MacOSX, is needed by all international OSX users to switch
between keyboards (and languages). The standard hotkey settings
of DM conflict with this OSX functionality.

I beg to differ about this not being too important (-;
It forces all users who use non-roman/latin input systems to
change the default. Please consider changing the default.
Pretty please?

I really wish there were a master COMPREHENSIVE list [1] of
keyboard shortcuts that the system defines so it's easier
for application authors to avoid choosing system defaults.
Such a list would also make it easier for users to suggest
keyboard shortcuts when asking for a change.
I keep coming across this keyboard shortcut collision issue
- cf. Launch Bar and Quicksilver which both chose
command+space (also system default) as a default.

[1] Anyone know of such a list or want to start collecting
info to make one?

Not sure if the following is a comprehensive list:

FWIW, at the moment, the Google query:
"Keyboard Shortcuts Quick Reference" apple
returns a URL for the list in question as the top result.
