This seems like a bit of an extreme position to take.   We shouldn't be
making decisions about supported configurations based on what keyboard /
mouse incantation is used to invoke a command.  The important thing is
whether or not there's a reasonable substitute for peoples' existing
workflows.  Pushing (for example) Ctrl+Alt+B instead of Ctrl+Shift+B I
consider reasonable (or typing ninja from a command prompt I also consider
reasonable).
