Hotkeys, are shortcuts for things. Instead of mousing over and clicking on your name to go to your profile, I think it would be easier if you had a hotkey for your profile, when your not typing anything and you press this hotkey, it takes you to your profile, and this could be used with the Action games, or the big Armor Games sign, or the Community link, or the Help link, from anywhere on the page, hotkeys can be used.
Say your mouse breaks, and you can't mouse over to the community, press C, or some other type of shift + key.
This might take a while to put into action, but I think it would help alot, make things go alot faster to.
It would be chaos for people typing posts and comments. If shift is used then people would have troble typing anything up or playing games without changing the page. I am against hot keys for the above reasons.
Basically the reasons that you have stated were mentioned before...
