Key accelerators
Gtk Stock sets by default some accelerators for convention, like Ctrl+Q for Quit.
Sweetener sets and overwrites some key accelerators for integrate them with Sugar.

| Stock label | Key accelerator on Sugar | Key accelerator on Linux desktops |
|---|---|---|
| Add | Ctrl + A | Ctrl + A |
| Fullscreen | Alt + Return | F11 |
| Normal Size | Ctrl + 0 | Ctrl + 0 |
| Remove | Shift + Del | Ctrl + R |
| Save as | Unused :) | Ctrl + Shift + S |
| Select Color | Ctrl + L | Ctrl + L |
| Zoom In | Ctrl + + | Ctrl + + |
| Zoom Out | Ctrl + - | Ctrl + - |
Activities using Sweetener
Gtk2 and Gtk3 Support
There are efforts to port Sweetener to Gtk3[1], but at the moment it isn't possible thanks to the upstream bug GNOME#652697.
