In a score editor.  Like Emacs' LilyPond-mode.  Or Frescobaldi.  Nobody
says that you should not be able to make use of shortcuts, but that does
not mean that the LilyPond language is the right place for providing
them.

Editing shortcuts have a nice place in editors.  q is one of those
features that make LilyPond unfeasible as a storage format for music.
Users like to save keystrokes, and they bemoan the demise of Mutopia,
and the rise of MusicXML over LilyPond as a music presentation format.

Nobody wants to see the connections.
