I would like to have keyboard shortcuts to make things easier to navigate. For starters, hitting 'e' should edit the resource(s) I am viewing/have selected. I could also see adding 'a' or 'c' to add/create new items based on the context you are in at the time (ie if you are on the sites page, create a new site). If you are going to do those, I guess it also makes sense to do 'd' for delete. It probably makes sense to have a modal box appear for '?' giving you a guide (see attached image if your not familiar with what sites like gmail show)

This would only complicate the interface without adding any significant value. I'm going to close this out.

It does have value to those who are using mostly their keyboard to
navigate. It's a feature that could be contributed maybe?
