problem is I am older and can't keep all these keyboard shortcut combinations in my head.  

That's when your brain starts losing more and more cells. Remembering shortcut keys are good for you and it's not that difficult.
For example, I is for Inspector, D is for multiDock, and adding Ctrl/Alt/Shift keys do related things, such as Shift+I opens the Clip pane in the Inspector, and Shift+D maximizes the multiDock pane.
Also, you can assign shortcut keys as you like. I use the combination of Ctrl+Alt for my own shortcut keys, like Ctrl+Alt+T opens Process > Transpose, and Ctrl+Alt+F opens Find/Change.

Another reason why it's good to remember shortcut keys is because you could accidentally press some key that might change some important settings. If you know what E or X does, you won't have to wonder "Why did my mix suddenly started sounding so dry?" or "Where the hell has the Aim Assist gone?"

Don't worry, take in lots of proteins and vitamins (especially folic acid) and enjoy the shortcut keys! 

I am not a great fan of keyboard commands, most of the problems I seem to get come from accidentaly touching a key and changing something I never meant to change  But they are not going away and they seem to be more important in X2 than they ever were in 8.5


I like the look of RJN's wall paper and I will give it a try.

I wonder if any one has tried one of the fancy gaming keyboards with Sonar like this one. Seems like the colour coded lighting and the programmable keys could be useful, if for example the programable "Cyborg Keys" could be programmed to the most used Alt+shift+cntl combiantions I could see it being useful.

im not a keyboard pusher either but i have found about 10 commands that i use a lot.
dont think because your old you cant remember 10.
youll get used to them :)

Then there's this guy :

They did have an X1 keyboard...

but it seems it's been removed from the store because of changes in X2. Was kind of expensive at $100 though. There were also Sonar keyboard sticker sets but again I think those were for earlier versions. I thought maybe I'd need to invest in one or the other at some point but I'm sure glad I didn't considering I jumped to X2 pretty fast. My notes work fine for when I get stuck. I find the actual shortcut charts in the manual to be a little confusing/misleading which is why I prefer to type things up in my own words as I learn them. It certainly takes longer but just like writing notes in school it helps things stick better.

Haha. Beat me to it... but yeah, I don't think that would be as effective with X2. Maybe it would work if you changed some binding settings around.

I like this wallpaper.  I am trying it.  Brilliant thanks!
