Do you not feel that in this case you are putting an abstract guide before the 
real usefulness of the app? For most users, Ctrl-Enter does not exist, and 
neither does the Configure Shortcuts dialogue. And even if it did, it's a bit 
of a stretch to realise that it is a shortcut which can be configured.

I think you condemn an awful lot of people with this decision.
