Hi there!

Pressing CTRL+CMD+ESC changes the video mode to safe mode. At least
one user reported to have hit it accidentally [1].
Seeing as CTRL+CMD+Cursor changes workspaces and ALT+Fx does too, it's
not inconceivable to mix those two up and hitting ESC by mistake,
which also hangs around in the top row of keys.

I propose adding a SHIFT to the safe-mode key-combo.

It won't put you to the contortions of the Vulcan Death Grip while
lowering the risk of accidental safe-moding. I know that there's an
alert popping up to keep/cancel the mode change, but in the above
mentioned case, the supposedly safe-mode resulted in a black screen
that rendered the alert invisible.

So, +SHIFT it?

Regards,
Humdinger
