You are correct -- 'Fill' doesn't currently (4.4.0.3) have a letter assigned. 
In previous versions, 'Fill' had the letter 'i' assigned.  The letter 'i' has
now been reassigned (in 4.4.0.3) to 'Edit Mode'.

To reproduce the data loss:

1. Create a spreadsheet

2. enter some data

3. save the spreadsheet

4. enter some additional data

5. select a range of cells

5. Type "<alt>+e", "i", "d".  In previous versions, users would type this
sequence to perform a "Fill Down" operation over the selected range.  In the
current version, the sequence does something entirely different -- it toggles
"Edit Mode" to read-only, a confirmation dialog pops up, and upon typing the
final "d", the unsaved changes are discarded, resulting in data loss.

My premise is that users will have previously memorized the shortcut sequence
for performing a "Fill Down" and won't notice that the sequence is no longer
valid until after typing it and loosing their unsaved changes.  (As you might
guess, I was such a user.)

My secondary point was that the current lack of any shortcut letter assigned to
"Fill" now makes it more difficult to navigate to its submenu and the shortcut
letters found there.  Using the "Fill" action is a common spreadsheet task and
therefore should be easily accessible.
