Hmm I have:

[SPACE] [RT ALT] [WIN*] [MENU**] [RT CTRL]

*the right-side version of the infamous 'Windows' key or otherwise know
as: "f***! I touched you and now I've bombed out of my game" key.

**Windows Menu key, another virtually useless key the opens a window's
menu, but your never know which one, sometimes it is the edit menu
sometimes the view menu. I rather use ALT+E or ALT+V and know what I am
getting!
