according to Andras, the stylist is at Ctrl-T on mac, so moving it there too on
Linux and Windows makes sense to me.

Proposal: Ctrl-Shift-T for new styles, no _default_ shortcut for "update
style". Whoever is using that is experienced enough to set his own shortcut if
needed.

Yes, I am sure: Launchpad tells me so, it also tell me that most users dont
know or care about the Stylist at all. Ctrl-T is easy to remember: sTylist
(every user accessing the Stylist is advanced enough to know that it cant be
Ctrl-S).
