X1 Keyboard Shortcuts - Learn or remap to be like 8.x?

X1 has lots of different keyboard shortcuts from Sonar 8.5.3.  Some my most frequently used commands (e.g., "D" for draw tool) now do something completely different ("D" opens multidock).

For those of you who switched to X1, did you:

a) train yourself to use the new X1 keyboard shortcuts

b) remap X1 to use your old shortcuts

c) train yourself to use the mouse more (so that shortcuts aren't as big an issue; e.g., smart tool)

d) a combination of some of the above

    I advocate a combination of remapping and re-learning in roughly equal proportion. Shortcuts that went back to Cakewalk for DOS and were re-mapped for no good reason have been restored by keybindings. Some others Like D and Shift-D for controlling the Dock made good sense to me, given that I don't have a need to Draw much.


    I continue to try to use keyboard shortcuts as much as possible. Keyboard shortcuts are faster for just about everything except selecting, moving and adjusting things. But when you have to click to select something, it's sometimes just as easy to get something done through a context menu or nearby listbox, so I get sucked into using the mouse more than I should.
