Any application wanting my patronage needs keyboard shortcuts. Life is too short, and my mouse too far away, to require pointing and clicking. That's why I love mutt (and patterns are awesome). Everything is done with the keyboard. There is no extraneous GUI getting in the way. Google Reader won me over the first time I hit "?"
Of course I understand that many don't share my infatuation with the keyboard. I don't often put keyboard shortcuts in my applications because customers want to use the mouse. Fortunately, this snazzy keyboard (similar to an UltraNav keyboard that I've used for years) provides a great mouse right between the G and H keys on the keyboard. So I'm never more than half an inch from the mouse when I have to use it.
