Yes, I did, and I forgot to mention that as one of my assumptions. If
one mouses with his/her left hand, most of those one-hand hotkeys would
need to be moved to the right side.
It's odd I forgot to mention this as an assumption, because both my
mother and my daughter are left handed.

We needn't go that far. The functionalities I identified are a great
set for a person using a computer; the exact hotkeys to trigger them
can be adjusted by each individual to his/her exact maximum efficiency.

They tried to do that with my mother as a child, and she was very bitter
about it. From a very early age (6) I remember her frustration at living
in a right handed world. Every time she used a scissors, she got royally
pissed.
