I think the reason (that it isn't supported) is much simpler than
that. The end user can't find the shortcuts because they're hidden
away in a contextual menu that they might never see (particularly if
they don't know about Control-click and have their mouse set to one-
button mode).
If the options in question are useful enough to merit a keyboard
shortcut, then they're useful enough to appear in the application's
main menu hierarchy. If not, then they aren't.
Kind regards,
Alastair.
