I'm not sure how to respond here, except to say that that's what the GUI designers of the world seem to have come up with. The keybindings that you asked for earlier (control-c and control-v for copy and paste under windows, for example (command-c and command-v on the mac)) are there because they are shortcuts for menu items, not because they are keybindings at the level of the editor.
