One set of hotkeys is OK, but they're not really the same all over, are they?
For one set of hotkeys you would have to stick to KDE or gnome apps exclusively. But a normal Linux system is a mixture of very different apps with differing behavior and differing hotkeys and unless you reduce that to a gnome or KDE mono culture it will stay that way.
a pretty good memory, but I sometimes find myself staring at the screen trying to remember the particular key sequence for less, vi, info or even emacs. It can be a pain at times.
I know :) There is a reason I avoid emacs completely and vi as much as I can: it takes a long time to get familiar with a new editor.
I believe if there is a decent interface for these things, it should at least be mentioned. And konqueror's "intelligent browsing", with "man:foo", "info:foo", "rfc:1234" etc is incredibly useful
Depends on you using konqueror :) And it doesn't help much when you're in an xterm window (which I'm most of my work time) and even less on the console. It's much faster to keep my hands on the keyboard and just call info or man than it would be to move my hand to the trackball to navigate in konqueror. Philipp
