Given that keyboard shortcuts are off by default, I don't think it's at all fair to claim gmail is a usability nightmare (based on that feature). They are an option for power users and you've chosen to enable them. The recommendation to turn them back off was quite correct.
If you find the task of turning that option off too difficult on your own, might I suggest taking the classic approach of "Googling it"? Again, for power users --> make option hard to find for less fluent users. That's intentional.
For what it's worth, I've enabled the keyboard shortcuts and never experience these issues. I'm personally quite happy they exist.
