I find they're very different parts of memory. Keyboard shortcuts live in your hands -- they're muscle memory.
Trying to remember where some option in a cluttered dropdown menu you used 20 minutes ago is working memory, something I'm personally terrible with. It's either whiplash out of a flow state, or risks sidetracking me.
It takes practice to build muscle memory, but it's something that generally stays with you for a long time, so it's an investment.
The point is that you don't think about keyboard shortcuts. You just think about the thing you need to do, and let your hands do it.
