Oops. Sorry, I should read what I've written before sending to the
world ;-). Again, I don't like the idea to set a keybinding which can't
be used by a certain amount of users(read Gnome users).
I don't care about the keyboard shortcut actually used, maybe
Ctrl-Alt-T or even undefined, I just don't like to set something which
we know to not work on several systems.

It is not a GTK built-in default but a Scintilla one and it can be
disabled/changed.
