Agree - I can never remember all of the special combinations so, to me,
they don't exist.  A context menu is much, much, much better.  I'd vote
for using the "Plus" key for context with whatever its current function
(again, cryptic affordance so I've no idea) as the first option in the
list so all people have to do is one extra click for the existing
functionality and a slight scroll for all of the others.  Adding in
user ability to configure/customize the features listed in the context
menu would really make it sing.
