This is great that they at least are documented somewhere, but that really
makes no difference. Much of the appeal of the Macintosh (it's biggest
selling point, in my opinion) IS THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO READ A BIG MANUAL
TO USE EACH PROGRAM. I don't want to have to dig through manuals to figure
out how to do things. With shortcuts implemented in a non-intuitive way
that requires reference to a manual to use them, the Mac loses one of the
key characteristics that renders it superior to IBM style machines--it's
intuitive, friendly nature.
