Might be true for saving, but there are far too many shortcuts. What makes it easier to remember that Ctrl+X is cut and Ctrl+V is paste?

Ctrl-X for cut because scissors form an 'x' if you squint hard enough?

Also Ctrl-V looks like 2 pieces of paper being pasted together.

Assuming you speak English.

At some point OpenOffice decided that the shortcut to save was Ctrl-G because my locale was set to Spanish ("guardar").

Ctrl-S is for search !
