Your point was that Apple never tells anyone what their keyboard shortcuts
are. So I answered that.

Now you want it to talk to you. Since your computer isn't HAL, how the
blazes do you expect it to know what the heck you want and then tell you?
Gimme a break. Did you ever look at the MicroSloth apps and their byzantine
shortcuts? There's no way the computer going to be that intelligent.
Remember, artificial intelligence is an oxymoron.
