I suppose that copying the keyboard model of either Visual Studio or Eclipse makes sense because of the popularity of those environments. In the case of VS at least, however, I wish to express the opinion that the keyboard assignments are not particularly intuitive or easy to remember. The base letter of a key combination is often not the initial letter of the associated command. Many commands require chorded sequences of hot keys, sometimes where the second one also requires the Control modifier and sometimes where it does not.
