Sure.  But you have to remember the mnemonics.  Unlike, say, arrow keys, 
which need no mnemonic to remember which is which.  And they're not all 
mnemonics, either, which also makes it difficult.

Plus, the fact that I have to remember D from ctl-D from Shift-D from 
ctl-shift-D and they all do slightly different things? Difficult. But again, 
it's because it does so much.

Also difficult is the number of buttons that influence the behavior of other 
buttons, down in the lower windows, and the lovely labels like "VColPai" 
that are supposed to be informative. :-)
