[Request] Keyboard shortcut parity with notebook classic

Excited to learn that future versions of notebook will be based off the same core as JupyterLab. I'm creating this post as a user who has tried to embrace JupyterLab but, despite all its great extra features, has always returned to notebook classic.

The reason: JupyterLab's keyboard shortcuts different enough that they frustrate many years of muscle memory built up in notebook classic. Sure, I can configure them to what I'm used to, but that means additional work each time I want to set up a (sometimes one-off) Jupyter environment somewhere.

Having just tried the Notebook 7 alpha, I can already tell the shortcuts are more like those in JupyterLab. I'm curious, does anyone know why JupyterLab didn't just keep the same shortcuts as before? It's always striked me as such a weird UX decision.

As for the question in my title, I'd like to float the idea of reversing that move in Notebook 7. Sooner or later, notebook classic users will be upgrading to notebook 7 without realizing the important changes beneath the surface. Doubtless many of them will be less than excited to learn they need to learn new shortcuts to get their work done faster.

Or is it just me?
