But I use the menus for about 90% of the operations <I perform (about 10% of the time). This is mostly because use of command <key equivalents tend to be inconsistent between applications (shame on the <developers), and I don't want to even try to remember who did what how. I was particularly pleased to see that Canvas 2.0 uses key commands very much like Microsoft Word (e.g., Cmd-Shift-i for italic, b for bold, etc. This makes it much easier, since text is a major part of my Canvas "drawings."
