A power user is someone that will go through the effort of learning a wide array of keyboard shortcuts to gain maximum efficiency when using your product.

What op described for 3 clicks is simply for rarely used use cases. Not power users.

No, a power user has nothing to do with "keyboard shortcuts" -- it's about delving deeper into more advanced features of a product regularly.

(Keyboard shortcuts in fact can be less efficient in some case and just busy-work for your mind compared to direct manipulation with the mouse).

MY point was that a power user would be the person to learn the most efficient way of using your product. Having a feature that is three clicks in would annoy a power user. Three clicks is for something that simply wont be used often


Depends. Photoshop power users often have to do 10 or 20 clicks to make specific changes. DAW powers users too.
