Keyboard is 3 times faster than the mouse!

We found that it takes 3 seconds longer to use a mouse to issue the same command as a simultaneous 2-key shortcut. As an example, suppose an average user does 10 mouse clicks per hour, rather then use a shortcut, that would mean 16 hours a year are spent moving from the keyboard to the mouse.

I find it depends on where the keyboard shortcut is. Being a right-handed windows user, my right hand stays on my mouse and makes use of both buttons (the context-sensitive menu is great) and the scrolling wheel. My left hand stays at the left side of the keyboard for my most commonly used keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+X,C,V,A,S,D,E, Tab, Shift-Tab, etc, and I use all those at lightning speed without even looking at the keys. I'm not even aware of any useful shortcuts on the right side of the keyboard: my right hand is too busy with the mouse.

ALT-SPACE activates the system menu for a window.
ALT-HYPHEN activates the system menu for an MDI client window.

In each of the above menus:
R - Restore
M - Move
S - Size
N - Minimize
X - Maximize
C - Close

So to maximize a window it is ALT-SPACE-X
