It is, but the problem with dexterity based workflows is that you're unlikely to bump into the literal category for it, wherever the stuff ends up being stashed in. QWERTY interaction mode, X and V for quick snap (grid/discrete and snap to point) and so on are hard to bump into unless you watch some tutorial or someone tells you.
The same goes for several other shortcuts that every expert knows but every noob misses (shift changing the contextual menu on click), and some that even experts rarely seem to know about (hold down a manipulation shortcut like W and left click for a nice surprise, inline snapping options, swim UVs, tweak, discrete steps and the such). It doesn't help that, unlike XSI, Maya has no right click for tool options on icons. XSI's snapping is infinitely more intuitive and versatile largely on account of that.
