Keyboard shortcuts are generally useful for technical power users - think people who learn keyboard shortcuts in Excel vs those that use Excel a lot but don't. So in other words, a pretty small minority of users. Is your target audience that small minority of users? If not, then keyboard shortcuts aren't that useful. They are also difficult to integrate into every feature as you grow larger, especially for non standard shortcuts (if you're building a web app)
