You mean the _default_ key bindings and shortcuts? I wouldn't mind 
adding ctrl-shift-tab as a default key binding to go to the project 
drawer, but unfortunately I can't overload that key “just like that” 
(the OS is pretty frustrating when it comes to overloading keys).

They are included because you have enabled full keyboard access (system 
prefs). You can remove them from the tab chain using Interface Builder.

As of such, I wouldn't mind removing them, as I wouldn't think anyone 
would actually tab to these gadgets and control them from the keyboard 
(and with the exception of some of the action menu items, they do all 
have key equivalents) -- but then again, I wouldn't think anyone would 
tab to the project drawer! ;)
