Hi Luke
Awesome, this is a huge help. Configurability would be a good thing
though, and maybe the default could be mapped to something a bit more
natural, e.g. panel menu is alt+f1, run is alt+f2, search is alt+f3 etc,
perhaps alt+f4 or something? Super+M just seems arbitrary by GNOME
convensions.

At the moment, I believe this keyboard shortcut is not configurable, however perhaps someone can look into making this configurable, if upstream haven't looked into doing so already.
