Shortcuts are for people who never learned to use a keyboard for 
writing. Those people may have problems with their fingers due to their 
inappropriate use, too many key-combinations, too frequently switching 
between keyboard and mouse, etc. I've had RSI problems twice, about 40 
years ago with a mechanical typewriter. After I improved my keying 
thechnique, they never came back again.

I also learned to distrust "ergonomical" designs, in detail as ad-ons. 
They tend to help their producers more than their users. Even some 
ergonomic standards seem not to apply to many people. A bright working 
place and not so bright displays, with black characters on white 
background, are most comfortable to my eyes.

I don't say that all other people must agree with my experience, but 
nobody can convince me to use laptop/notebook keyboards, touchscreens or 
reversed color schemes for everydays work.
