I don't know if you're intentionally setting up a stawman here, but inkscape is a vector editor, blender is a 3D modeler, and gedit is a text editor. These applications aren't in the same domain as GIMP and MyPaint. Exercising my bad analogy skills, I would expect GIMP, MyPaint, and PhotoShop accelerators to all "speak" English, though one might be American, another British, and another Australian. Inkscape may sound a bit more like Jamaican and Blender would be German (or perhaps Navajo, since they don't even honor <F1> as help). So all I'm suggesting is that instead of simply producing PhotoShop keybindings (which is a fine idea, IMO) that an interested person actually look at the broader picture to see if there is any accelerator convergence among peer applications and propose bringing GIMP into alignment where it makes sense to do so.
