It appears that the key combinations Alt D Alt S Alt E E T Are not working currently. I checked with a couple of people in the VDG channel. I use Wayland, others were using X11 and the shortcuts were not working. In the case of the letters E and T, this collided with the desktop typing feature and was registered as a search term.
They are working, they're just confusing as hell; See Bug 433841. We should probably replace them with more standard style shortcuts. What you need to do is keep your finger on the modifier key and press both letters, one after the other. For example to trigger the action with the shortcut "Alt+D, Alt+A", you put your thumb on the Alt key, then press the D key, then--without taking your finger off the Alt key--press A. For the one with the shortcut "Alt+D, A" you press Alt+D, then remove your finger from the Alt key, then press A. Yes, it's ridiculous, I know. :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 433841 ***

I think that is not standard key combo behavior. I wonder if we can make it work as it should?
Yes, we should just change these to standard non-chord shortcuts.
