 I see. That's most probably for me then. Implementing such shortcut should 
not be a problem, but I don't think it should be set up by default. Normal 
users use the mouse anyway.

 I don't think there's any need to shorten the list, why? As long as they 
don't have anything assigned by default (which they don't now). Even if you 
want some keys assigned by default, it'd be just about having sensible 
defaults and the rest turned off.
