Yeah an easy way of creating symlinks would be helpful.

I agree,

I expect my shortcuts to match other Open Source software I use.

In this case I expect my file manager to have Firefox style shortcuts

Close Tab: Ctrl + F4
Previous Tab: Ctrl + Shift + Tab
Next Tab: Ctrl + Tab

I've been trying to figure out how to get Nautilus or Pantheon Files to accept these shortcuts in Luna 0.2 to no avail so far. A dialog or System Settings page to set File Manager Shortcuts would be most welcome by me.

@lorendias

That issue is unrelated to this one. Please consider reporting it under another bug report, and target all the applications that you think should follow this conventions, and Granite too.
