I did not know the shortcut. IMHO your point is that very few if any 
users will know all the keyboard shortcuts though they will know many of 
them and the ones they do know are the ones they find the most useful.

Also, "power users" tend to modify the shortcut assignments and toolbars 
to make them more useful while occasional users will probably do 
neither. Occasional users are more dependent on menus.
