Super-key to minimise app/game!
One major trouble I have with elementary OS, or Linux in general, is that you cannot escape from an app or a game using your keyboard. In Windows you just use the Super/Windows-key to unfocus the game, allowing you to check your mailbox or chat with a friend. This becomes more important now that Steam is making its appearance on Linux with some pretty awesome titles. Linux can become a platform for games and as such, it becomes important being able to minimize a game while you are playing, preferably using the same key you would use on Windows. I imagine people may switch from Windows 7 to elementary Luna. Take this into serious consideration.

IMHO switching away from a game every time you hit super is very annoying. Games often use the nearby Ctrl and Alt as game keys. Besides, games are just not supposed to be used like that and we're not going to break their design. --shnatsel
