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
