I remember some of my associates in Taiwan were using the shift-shift combo key to activate their IM.  However, this sample size is too small.  I still think the best way is to directly address this issue to someone high-up at ERI, which has about 500 developers, and ask him or her to provide their "collective" opinion.  This was not supposed to be a high visibility issue, but becomes important because it conflicts with Netbeans, etc.  Again, everyone needs to show support for OpenSolaris.
