I sure hope not! The "three finger salute" is "small thinking" that's a
remnant of a home / game computer mentality. Linux and Unix come from a
secure and mature operating systems model, not game machines. There may
indeed be a shortcut in Linux, but if there is... I'm disabling it. I'd
rather not expose my work to the tampering or damage that a shortcut
would provide.
