Easy. Faster than the menu navigation. I go without

I don't think it is applicable here because you can be pretty much
mouse-less on a desktop so that you can type everything with two
hands.
In Gimp you have only one hand (the other one is on the
mouse/tablet). Either you lose time going back and forth between
mouse and keyboard to use both hands on the keyboard, or your
non-mouse hand goes in hunt-and-peck mode on the keyboard half it
is not accustomed to.
So I'm the only one using keyboard shortcuts then? You actually
File->Save with your *mouse*? How to you enter text on your text layers?
Inputting text for text layers is a completely different matter.
I do use shortcuts (including Ctr-S and Ctrl-E...) but these are mostly
on the left side of the keyboard. Ctrl-shift-N is already rather awkward
despite my long fingers. The [] tp set the brush size are out of reach
(on my AZERTY, these require the AltGr key). I mostly switch tools using
the tools palette (where I removed those I seldom use and added some
others).
What I would love is an extension of the Tool palette to include filters.
