I can't know whether that's the case, but the fact that virtually all
commands are invoked with the keyboard clashes with HID research reported at

   http://www.asktog.com/TOI/toi06KeyboardVMouse1.html

It adresses the question whether selecting commands in menus with the
mouse or accessing them via keyboard shortcuts is faster. The answer is:

 "* Test subjects consistently report that keyboarding is faster than
    mousing.
  * The stopwatch consistently proves mousing is faster than
    keyboarding."
