That's correct David, I recall the discussion. At that time we had multiple
users complaining loudly about the shortage of available shortcut
combinations. I thought that also included VI users that wanted to use key
bindings for their own scripts, but I could be wrong about that - either
way, we ended up with the shorter list as the default. If you wish to
petition for the default to be changed to "Full", I would support that
proposal, though one detail to consider is whether "Reset Configuration"
should reset to the default set, or to the user's chosen default set.

Hi Andrew,
I think it would be better if the full set was the default. How to set the
full set is not easily discoverable, and I worry that some keyboard users
never find the setting and give up using Audacity because of this.
My understanding is that the developers thought that having the reduced
set of shortcuts would make it easier for users to customize shortcuts as
there are a lot more unused shortcuts to choose from. Having this reduced
set as the default may be useful for mouse users, but I don't think it's
useful for most keyboard users.
David.

Hi Steven
If you mean what I think you do - turn on all Audacity keyboard commands:
1. Press control+p to open Preferences
2. Press k to get to Keyboard
3. Tab six times to get to the Defaults button
4 Press spacebar to open options
5. Arrow down to Full and press Enter
6. Tab to ok and press Enter
Why Full is not the default is beyond me.
