I'm not sure how to respond here, except to say that that's what the
GUI designers of the world seem to have come up with. The keybindings
that you asked for earlier (control-c and control-v for copy and paste
under windows, for example (command-c and command-v on the mac)) are
there because they are shortcuts for menu items, not because they are
keybindings at the level of the editor.
