"It is perfectly okay to write garbage — as long as you edit brilliantly."
A word processor is a writing tool, which means you will spend almost all of your time using the software typing on the keyboard. Anything that interrupts your keyboard activity, such as being forced to use a mouse to access a menu for some basic piece of functionality is a distraction.
This is what shortcuts are for. Everything you can do with a mouse you should be able to do with a keyboard, and commonly used functionality should be much faster when using keyboard shortcuts.
