You're using a NURBS cylinder, which is really 3 surfaces; a top and bottom cap, and a side. What is shown in the first image is a polygon cylinder, which is one continuous piece of geometry.

Also, do you know if I can edit hotkeys in Maya? If so, how do I get to the menu?

No problem.

Window>Settings/Preferences>Hotkey Editor.
