Although I knew already, thanks for the info

Since "Drawer", "File" and "Disk" do not have a letter that occurs in all 3 names, I don't think you could have the same shortcut for all 3 of them.
If you set your system language to english, you can try it yourself. Call the info window of a file, tool, drawer or disk and change to the "icon" tab first. Then use the appropriate keyboard shortcut to go to the "main, first tab" (File,Drawer or Disk) and press the same key again. The "name" text-gadget will then activate and you could change the name of the file/Drawer/Disk. So you have 3 different keyboard shortcuts activating the "Name Text field gadget" but no hint to this shortcut anywhere. Kind of a hidden feature..
Localization can also affect the keyboard shortcuts. An English name might have completely different letters than a German or Italian translation of the English name. For example if the English name is "build" and in another language the translated name is "zopek", the keyboard shortcuts would need to be different for those 2 languages.
Good point here, I forgot to mention I'm using english as the first language in Locale Prefs .
As a side thought, it would be nice if all keyboard shortcuts for actions which are saved to disk (or distructive actions), and have no undo-function available, were only activated by a two-key shortcut.
E.g. save, should be "RAmiga+s" not only "s" like in RAWBInfo. Maybe it's an idea for the styleguide?

RAmiga is used for menu shortcuts and gadget shortcuts are a single letter. It's just how Amiga has always worked as far as I know. In the case of RAWBInfo, RAmiga+s is the menu shortcut for save already. It might be a good idea for destructive functions to bring up a confirmation requester though.
Yes, you are right, since one could press "s" (but the shortcut without RAmiga) by accident and save changes he/she did not want to change, with no possibility to roll back (as he might have or not clumsy hands and be unaware he might have changed something).
