You don't have to have ALL of your menu options take a shortcut.  I suggest you make, 
under your assumption, the seven least used items not have a shortcut and call it at 
that.  One of our apps has fifteen menu items and only twelve of them have shortcuts.  
The ones that you usually don't want to shortcut are commands connected with deletion 
to keep a bad graffiti pen stroke from accidentally removing something.
