sorry, i really see no strong reason to change anything about this
issue. shift+esc works on every keyboard layout without any differences
among different layouts and this keyboard shortcut can be found in the
documentation of nexuiz and also in README.Debian. if the undocumented
keys work for a limited range of users, those are for the lucky ones,
but these keys still are neither documented nor suggested to be used by
me, nor by upstream! and if a user doesn't like the shift+esc keys, it's
still possible to change them to personal preferences.
