    The thing is not remembering which keys to press. It's having to
    reach for the keyboard at all. Imagine the following scenario -
    bleary eyed user snaking through their system, mouse in one hand and
    coffee in the other, leaning back in their chair.

    I do this from time to time, or I would if it was easier to get around
    the system with just the mouse. It's the mouse equivalent of typing
    "dir" repeatedly under MS-DOS - one of those fuzzy things one does
    just to pass the time... :)
