You can use the exact same key sequence in W7 that you describe in W8. Win key, type C-A-L, press Enter key.

Typing is more efficient if you're a good typist and already know the shortcuts. Most of my users aren't good typists, which is why they rejoiced when the mouse came along in the first place. I know plenty of efficient ways to use a computer, but I'm always going to give the instructions that are easiest to follow. That usually means I give preference to mouse movements over keyboard sequences.
