Have you considered using Keyboard Alternatives (from Menu Preferences) in  
the Preferences app.  This reassigns a command key to a Menu item,  
whichever apps it may appear in.

If you use italic'ed command keys, you have a lot more to choose from  
(these are Command-Alt, I think).  Possibly services apps should use those  
in preference to normal and shifted keys.
