There are two forms of shortcut key. One is a direct-action keystroke
that immediately does the same thing that you can do using the menus
(say, Ctrl-O is the same as File... Open). With those, the menu is
completely unnecessary, except as a list of available keystrokes; it
could just as easily be a help screen that says "Press Ctrl-O to open
a file", so the menu's actual location is quite arbitrary. Downside:
There's only so many keystrokes available, and not all of them have
memorable meanings. It's usually best to keep this to the few most
common functions (opening a file, yes, but not "reinterpret this file
as ISO-8859-3", unless you make that configurable per user).

But the other form, usually described as menu mnemonics, is where you
press Alt-F to bring up the _File menu, and then O to activate _Open.
(In OS/2, those would be ~File and ~Open; in GTK, the mnemonic is
preceded by an underscore. Windows 3.1 used an ampersand, and I
believe Win32 does the same thing. It's a little awkward when you have
an invoicing screen and you put something like "P&O Shipping" as your
customer name, and suddenly Alt-O takes you someplace different. The
tilde has the advantage that it doesn't often come up accidentally;
the underscore makes sense because the mnemonic is underlined; I have
no idea why an ampersand should be used. But I digress.) When you work
this way, you aren't grabbing the mouse, so the advantage of not
needing to aim so carefully doesn't exist; but if the menu comes up
right near where your eyes are already focused, you need to move
_them_ less distance - and that means you can focus on the menu more
quickly, plus it emphasizes that the visual change (opening the menu)
occurred in your current program, not in something else.

In Xfce, I can press Alt-F1 to open up the main Applications Menu.
That's at the top of the screen (in fact, top left corner), so it gets
the "throw the mouse" benefit; I think I use the mouse with that a lot
more often than I use the mouse with a program's own menu, because
there's more likely to be something unusual in there. If I install a
new piece of software, I have to figure out where it's landed in the
menu; but Gypsum's four menus aren't changing unexpectedly, so I'm
happy using Alt-O, V to open up Advanced Options.

Okay. So you need to first click on something in the dock - that's the
thing down the bottom of the screen, right? - and then go all the way
up to the top of the screen to use its menu bar. I think I'd much
rather have a popup menu - right-click the program's dock icon and get
the menu right there where the mouse already is. Oh wait, that
requires people to understand more than a single mouse button, so it's
contrary to Mac philosophy :)

Sure, but those elements are usually rare enough that they can be
stuck on the window anyway. Audacity has a "New" that opens up a new
window, and it's slightly surprising the first couple of times, but
after that you get used to it. It's not a big enough issue to warrant
a change of UI. It is an issue, yes, but I wouldn't warp anything
around it any more than I'd warp my UI around the possibility of a
user having no screen or keyboard and is using the mouse blind. Sure
it happens (I've done it, and I know what I could code to make it
easier!), but not often.
