Only 5 available shortcuts

This is just a hypothetical, but I’m curious to know which shortcuts are really being used in the community.

Let’s say you have a limited time to create a major project from Midi through Mastering, but you can only use 5 shortcuts (preset or custom) and no more.  What do you choose?  And what are the next shortcuts that regrettably wouldn’t make the cut?

 I’ll start from a hobbyist perspective:

Gotta Haves:

  1. Expand/collapse MultiDock (D)
  2. Maximize/restore MultiDock (SHIFT+D)
  3. Show/hide Inspector (I)
  4. Show/hide Browser (B)
  5. File > Save (CTRL+S)

 

On the Bubble:

  1. Piano Roll view (ALT+3) Tough one to lose to manual mouseclick
  2. Show Tools HUD (T) I’d just have to keep the toolbar visible in the control bar
  3. Patch Browser (;) Just learned about this one on the forum

The limitations of my own challenge were clearly beyond me.  Msmcleod's list (Spacebar, W, R, Ctrl Z, Ctrl S) is actually more accurate for my own Gotta haves.  Being a shortcut junkie,  these are as involuntary as breathing.  Two others I forgot were transport controls of

Ctrl Pgup and Pgdn (prev/next measure)

Ctrl-shift Pgup and Pgdn (prev/next marker)

I’d never used Alt-z before yesterday, but I can see where I’d also make use of that as well. 

 

Are there other shortcuts that would make your essential shortlist (assuming 5 is too few)?

I set-up short cuts for back and forward to next marker - those are pretty important to me.

 

definately :

space bar - Just GO

W - rewind to beginning

Alt F9 - for Synth Rack

ALT F3 - Piano roll

B - lose the browser
