Well I can answer my own question about "how to add a signature from
the keyboard -- using visual cues and not memorizing every accelerator
key".

And now this stupid thing appears to be even MORE MORONIC than
before:

Alt-N for Insert, G for Signatures, and finally you get a menu you can
navigate with arrow keys.

Alt-N for iNsert almost makes sense, except that appears to be an
ARBITRARY accident:

Alt-H: Message
Alt-I: Insert
Alt-P Options
Alt-O Formatted text (just when you thought it was at least
alphabetic)
Alt-L Developer

And reading those blogs about "why" then did these stupid things is entirely
unconvincing -- an obvious apologia for something that they subconsciously
(or now consciously) know is flawed reasoning.

Take Developer, I use such things fairly regularly but it doesn't even need
a
main menu item -- most people don't use it often and those that do don't
mind
looking for it in a submenu.
