Doesn't it make any sense to give some sort of visual indication of these
events (also the option-key stuff with the finder, ...) so that the user can
see that he has indeed effected some non-standard sort of change?  Something
simple like a flash somewhere on the menu bar, perhaps.  I like the simplicity
of the Mac, and I like these sort of shortcuts, *but* sometimes they are a
frustration due to the lack of documentation of them and the lack of indication
that they were even invoked.
