I got reminded of this when I saw Matt's comment, as well as your
latest comment...

Is it a bug or a feature that hitting anykey(s)+F12 takes you to KDL?
I found this somewhat annoying when setting myself up to use 12
workspaces and finding that ALT+F12 pops me into KDL.  Shouldn't this
only be done if F12 is hit all by itself?

I did look at ticket 3669, which is similar to what I just typed, so I
do know that F12 is only temporary.  Perhaps for now though, F12
should only activate KDL if it is the only key that is pressed at the
time.  Thoughts?
