I would like to see the following default shortcuts added to unity (in compiz config settings manager) - which indeed I would see as a default in Ubuntu (and not just for developer machine):

launcher icon size should be reduced to minimum (32 currently, 24 would be even better if it were available) - developers use a bunch of apps and need more place on the left for launchers.

Mouse shortcuts for desktop switch (desktop-wall plugin in compiz) - left and right mouse button on the bottom edge of the screen (default desktop switch is 3 clicks per switch - far too much). This is the mouse analogy for CTRL+ALT+LEFT and CTRL+ALT+RIGHT. This requires desktops being arranged in one row (not th 2x2 as current default). I only need 3 desktops but 4 is also ok.

Mouse shortcuts for window switch (application-switcher plugin in compiz) - left and right mouse button on top edge of the screen (mouse analogy for ALT+TAB).

Mouse shortcuts are as important as key shortcuts because when presenting or while surfing the web you are often faster with mouse shortcuts because mouse already at hand.

F9 shortcut for desktop widgets should be disabled - many IDEs use F9 to toggle breakpoints - super annoying and I searched a while where to disable that.
