I can understand why this bothers you.
To quote a Dutch proverb:
“Elk nadeel heeft zijn voordeel,”
meaning every downside has an upside; and another one:
“Er is nog nooit een kok gevonden,
die koken kan naar alle monden,”
which loosely translates as “a chef who can cater to all tastes has never been found.”
Every person posting a request on the forum has an ideal vision of what they would like the software to become, and those multiple visions are more often than not conflicting, but most of the people posting their desires don’t seem to realize that.
Considering the amount of requests received concerning the shortcuts, the decision was ultimately made to change the way they work.
All change requires some sacrifice, and there is simply no way to please absolutely everybody absolutely all of the time (as demonstrated in Aesop’s fable about the old man, the boy and the donkey).
