Default How to remember shortcuts in excel?

Shortcuts keys in Excel are always assigned based on the first letter
of the menu item.
For example. to open a new file the shortcut is CTRL + N, N is the
first letter of the new command.

Agreed for New, Open, Save, Print

but don't forget
Control + C is Copy
and Paste is Ctrl + V
Cut is C...

I shan't go on, there aren't any general rules

Ctrl + Z is undo, Ctrl + ; is insert time, so much for your rule.

Look again at the underscores on the menu items.
Gets complicated when you add your own menus and they
aren't made unique with the underscores. But then they
aren't really the documented keyboard shortcuts, unless you
see the shortcut also written on the menu item. For keyboard shortcuts
see help, or http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/xlshortx2k.htm

Always awkward, ie Ctrl+Z is the same as F10 E U
But we don't really call the F10 apporach a shortcut do we ?
