I would advocate for not even having a shortcut for restarting the 
kernel and rely on the menu/buttons for that.  Restarting the kernel is 
a very disruptive action, so I think it should have a fairly disruptive 
invocation procedure.

You can always put a shortcut in later if people are always complaining 
that they can't restart kernels fast enough :).
