It's a good suggestion. I think it requires a fuller assessment of the different shortcuts.
One part of this is that shortcuts are important for accessibility, and some of them can be considered "part of the experience" for users with certain disabilities. The second thing, is that being a scarce resource, shortcuts need to arranged and mapped to functions carefully.

What I recommend is that:
1. Luke draws a complete panorama of the shortcuts proposed for a11y reasons and how they need to map to the Unity word
2. Design reviews that list and ensures the mapping is consistent with the overall organization of the Unity shell and the general usability directions that have been followed.
3. We file a list of bugs/tasks for fixing the shortcuts that need to be remapped.
