We are spoked about this in IRC channel.

Lumiera gui can have two modes: Easy and Expert. In easy mode user can
push nice looking buttons and browse trough rich menu. In expert mode
almost all controls is gone. You can do things only via keystrokes.

This might be much better because even experts sometimes forgets
shortcuts. In this case gui will able to go back to easy mode and look
required shortcut in menu. Then go back to expert mode.

Expert mode toggle can be bind to something like F12

PS: I really like cinelerra's workflow. Except one thing. I cant put
video from resources to viewer without mouse. Everything else can be
done very fast without mouse at all. Very nice for documentary and news
but very uncomfortable for music video and fiction film.
