Indeed it does. in fact Ubuntu 12.04 *requires* that you have two
working hands, digits, and arms in order to use all of these fine
'keystrokes' and perform the same function that could be performed by a
person with one hand and a mouse. Here's an example:

 On GNOME2/Natty & below to modify/add a user to a group all you needed
to do was click System|Administration|Users and Groups|Manage
Groups|click on the group you want & select 'Edit'|click the user you
want to add & click 'OK' - done. Try the same with 12.04...

Nevermind, you'll end up doing it directly from the terminal:

Now I suppose that you *might* be able to do that with a single hand,
but I wouldn't like to try.

Granted the mouse operation does take quite a few clicks, but at least
you can do it with one hand.
