I agree.  Blender should definitely have hotkeys!

Nope.  This is wrong.  Blender uses the filesystem
for its undo stack, rather than memory.  That's what
the business about versions in the Preferences window
is for.  Saving a .blend file is fast because it's
basically a memory dump.  The idea is that you checkpoint
your work before doing something drastic.  If you don't
like the results CTL-O to reload.  I'm not going to mention
autosave.

There is already a key, F1, for open.  Sometimes I get
the impression that these suggestions are coming from
people who are not familiar with blender.
