True it requires careful thought.  Not to detract from a bit, but on  
my system (10.4.11) Cmd-d duplicates finder items, AND navigates to  
the Desktop in open/save dialogs.  I'm quite sure it came that way  
off the shelf.  I would feel very deprived if either one  
disappeared.  My habits have grown to accommodate any conflict in the  
mind...

I find some obscure commands are buried in the keyboard prefs under  
"Keyboard Navigation".  Things that I don't see in menus anywhere.   
However, I still don't see the navigate to desktop showing up there.   
It just works.  How, I cannot tell.  I had supposed it was a function  
of mapping to dialog-box items, but I don't know for sure.  In the  
Classic OS 7.5 days I had a few programs where I could actually  
customize that feature by altering the starting character of dialog  
items in ResEdit.  I loved that innovation, and hoped it would become  
universal, but it seems not quite so. :-(
