While we're at it, we could fix Toggle Present Windows (Current desktop) from Ctrl+F9 to Meta+F9, Toggle Present Windows (All desktops) from Ctrl+F10 to Meta+F10 and Toggle Present Windows (Window class) from Ctrl+F7 to Meta+F7.

Also Peek at Desktop and Show Desktop seem to do the same thing. One is bound to Meta+D and the other to Ctrl+F12

I'll pass this along for consideration.
