In Delphi/Lazarus on Windows the first three are 1-key, while the other two are 2-key. Debugging keys are essential and very common to use; I can't believe you have to hit 3 keys for every single line of code, same applies to Form/Unit view.

    CMD + I : Indent code block
    In Delphi they are F9, Tab and Shift+Tab respectively (Delphi versions previous to XE 2 need CnWizards for code block indentation). They are shorter and more intuitive.

    I think after a while you get used to the shortcuts, at least that has always been my experience.
    I don't think the Lazarus team will change the shortcuts on Mac OS, as most of them are the same on Xcode, which is I find rather pleasing, personally, as I've been doing a lot of Xcode development these days.
