I will challenge the argument that simple keystrokes should not start a
function.
Every piece of software works like that. Photoshop has single-key selection for
tools. SketchUp works the same. KiCad, same. Basically, almost **every**
programme that does not have (or is) some kind of text editor, uses single keys
for functions or tools.
The Start Centre does not use the keys for anything. Why the hell not use those
keys to speed up selection? [W] for Writer document, [C] for Calc document, [D]
for Draw document, etc.

I reiterate: in the Start Centre, these keys are just sitting there doing
nothing!
