Shortcuts have long been a thorn for Pharo, the lack of global state and the fact that are hard coded. Colors and Themes had the same issue and it was the effort Esteban who wanted to bring the dark theme that really changed this. I suspect like Theme these are legacy Squeak stuff that are not easy to fix.
Ideally shortcuts should be fully customisable with preset support accessible from Pharo user settings. This way for example a vim user could implement his own set of keys after his favorite editor. It would be nice if that became a target for Pharo 7 or at least Pharo 8. No Pharo tool should be allowed to manage its own shortcuts , not even third party tools.
