These aren't just usual rants. The Ubuntu devs essentially just broke
a LOT of stuff. Documentation on Gnome/Nautilus on their website is now
not compatible with Ubuntu. Gnome didn't want it this way or they would
have made it this way. The shift modifier should be for "cleaning up
the spatial mess" not for making spatial functional. This totally goes
against spatial mode philosophy.
