[Cin] Looking into minimal alternative Shortcuts

[Phyllis Smith]

Haldun, I was really intrigued by the "HeLLo EvEryBoDy" and laughed about
your explanation.
If you look in the File pulldown, "Save as" uses the shortcut of "Shift-S"
which here in the United States is the capital S.  But actually "Save as"
is probably just as good as "Save" so your work will be "saved (pun
intended)" in either case.
