IMNSHO (in my not so humble opinion), that is very patronizing and
silly to boot. Obviously, it all depends on the context of a
particular task and its ergonomics - mainly common sense in the
overall design. For instance, if I am in an editor, or perhaps
updating and correcting entries in a form, I want to stick to my
keyboard, and keyboard 'shortcuts' are a sensible way to do it. But on
the other hand, if I am just going through a lot of menus, pushing
buttons, checking boxes etc, forget the tab, space, return and
function keys, the mouse is quicker, and I do not have to *memorize*
anything...  Jiri
