A big +1 on Damien’s comment. Discoverability of useful things is too low. For 
example, I did not know about Shift-enter for searching until somebody showed 
it to me inadvertently when he was demoing something else :-/

That being said, I don’t have a good solution to the problem either :-( Maybe 
have the standard image have a second workspace open that lists useful tools 
and their shortcuts? Plus put new tools and their shortcuts prominent in the 
release notes for each new release? (cause us old timers don’t look at those 
workspaces anymore ;-) ).
