I'm sorry all of you put your eggs into one basket which enshitified into an interface for babies. BTW, I'm an artist both digital and traditional. When I got my degree in science I was able to get arts degrees at the same time fulfilling electives requirements. My favorite programs are Clip Studio Paint, Gimp, Blender, and Autodesk Fusion 360, but I don't use hotkeys for any of them, except occasionally rigging in blender, or I would be memorizing like 300+ different hotkeys.
