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...
