It should remain > consistent with everything else. yes, I know that these shortcuts are not consistent with the selection tool. Actually, add and remove are exactly the other way round. It is always hard to decide if you should be consistent with pre-versions, or with other functions in the same version. I prefer to stay consistent with the preversion, as users who have learned the shortcuts will be confused otherwise. > The "cumbersome" shortcut of Ctrl+Shift > is quite handy for delete since you hardly hit it by accident. Yes, but the user first has to find it! I don't think that providing a single keyboard shortcut would result in many accidential deletions - after all there is the icon next to the mouse pointer. > I understand there is quite a learning curve involved with the path > tool.

Of course keyboard shortcuts are very important for quick interaction with the tool! Nevertheless, not every user is a image manipulation expert, possibly does not know the concept of path tools at all. For such user, the learning should be facilitated, by supporting the exploration with simple shortcuts and the like.
