Description William Jon McCann 2010-04-29 22:54:39 UTC 
Might be nice to have a global hotkey to show the message tray.  Maybe hide too?  Not sure.
Comment 1 Maxim Ermilov 2011-01-16 22:30:02 UTC 
What you think about adding message tray in ctrl-alt-tab (and making item in it accessible from keyboard)?
Comment 2 Dan Winship 2011-01-16 22:49:49 UTC 
it will be in ctrl-alt-tab; i didn't add it before because the tray isn't keyboard navigable yet, so it was sort of pointless.

the way it works at the moment, ctrl-shift-alt-tab (and immediately release) is guaranteed to always bring you to the tray. That's not the best keybinding ever though...
Comment 3 Allan Day 2011-03-19 13:32:50 UTC 
Yes, this would be nice. I'm imagining a simple key combo to raise, then navigating the tray contents using the arrow keys.
Comment 4 David Prieto 2011-04-24 00:01:03 UTC 
Maybe using the Logo key, as proposed on bug #648507?
Comment 5 John Stowers 2011-05-18 10:37:04 UTC 
I agree with the sentiments in bug #648507

Id like to encourage using the logo key as a modifier (I already mapped logo+up and logo+down to workspace change, logo+t for terminal, etc). Then this could be logo+m

Fixed in master, see http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/commit/?id=7950c4afddbd
