Every platform defines it in a clear manner.

Apple says "Control+Command+F":
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/userexperience/conceptual/applehiguidelines/KeyboardShortcuts/KeyboardShortcuts.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002725-SW2

Microsoft says "F11 or Alt+Enter":
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb545461.aspx

KDE says "F11 or Ctrl+Shift+F":
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG/Keyboard_Shortcuts

Gnome says "Ctrl+F11":
http://developer.gnome.org/hig-book/3.0/input-keyboard.html.en#standard-shortcuts

(I did not look up what other platforms do, like Xfce and maybe others.)

So at least this shortcut should have been in QKeySequence, IMHO.
