I think it would be better to do it the other way round. I know
that many advanced users of GUI programs are almost obsessed with
keyboard shortcuts, but from a didactical position I think it would be good to note that shortcuts are exactly that: a way to
making the process of selecting the correct menu entry faster, to
cut it short.
I think beginners should always be taught the menu command first,
and *then* the keyboard shortcut for this reason. Also: If the users forgets the exact keyboard shortcut, and does not know the
menu command, there is no easy way to find it out. It is easy the other way round, as all shortcuts are listed next to their
respective menu commands.
Also menu commands are so much easier to remember for beginners.
I do think, that even if *we* use shortcuts in our daily work all
the time (actually I don't), we should discribe stuff in a way that benefits our target audience most.
I would like to know what you all think about this. Maybe I *am*
wrong.
I think you are right.
If I had to support Users by phone they mostly ask for the menu an only the 'powerusers' ask for the shortcuts. But maybe I am wrong too :-)
