What's the best way to learn keyboard shortcuts and basic

>>296441
mnemonics or anki cards and/or just use the first letter for the shortcut
eg: symmetry - CTRL+S or SHIFT+S

>shift-S
that's the symbol sprayer tool nigga

S is Scale, O is Mirror

fat fuck here
i printed and pasted them on the fridge

Just start using them. Seriously, it's that simple. Start with the tools you use most, learn their shortcuts, and make a conscious effort not to click the icons in the toolbar. Then graduate to actions and use the same technique. This shit about printing charts or memorizing lists doesn't treat this kind of learning the way it needs to be treated. It's not rote memorization, it's physical. Like muscle memory. You don't even look down at the keyboard unless it's to reorientate your fingers, so overloading your memory with which combination of buttons corresponds to which functions is a waste of effort.

Eventually it will start to become reflexive for you, and you won't even realize that you're using the shortcuts. Do you remember when you stopped clicking Edit-Undo and started using CTRL Z? The same learning principle applies to other shortcuts. Repetition becomes reflex. You think more about what CTRL Z feels like than whatever letters happen to be on the keys you're pushing.

This is great advice, and you're right it is the most effective way of learning. I've never used charts or mnemonics before.

I realise now that I probably worded my question quite poorly.

It's less about the learning aspect — how to remember, and so on — and more about simply not knowing these cool tricks and shortcuts that professionals use. I might watch somebody do vector art on a livestream and he'll do something in the blink of an eye that I didn't even know there was a button for. I don't know how to find out about those shortcuts in the first place, more so than I don't have any techniques for learning them.

I print the sheet of shortcuts to remind myself what they are at first so that I don't go to the buttons, but I don't actually know what many of the shortcuts are in the first place. (And many of them seem to be omitted from these sheets anyway.)

tl;dr: how do i find out more about professional technique and start-to-finish process in vector art
