All,
I have mentioned most of this in this forum in the past, but here again:
1. You are not limited to the letters of the alphabet and the F-keys; you can use number keys and special character keys as well.
2. It is most efficient to use one-letter mapkeys for your most frequently used tasks, but not for all mapkeys, because you may "use up" the keyboard. Therefore, a good idea is a judicious mixture of one and two-letter mapkeys. Two is plenty because "the keyboard squared" is more than you will ever need.
3. Two letter mapkeys are quickest if they are the same key twice, AA for example, or immediately adjacent keys, QW for example.
4. If you are using two-letter mapkeys you cannot also have one-letter mapkeys beginning with the same letters. If, for example, you have "A" and "AS", you will never see "AS" because "A" will execute immediately.
5. Consider using the single keys in the lower outside corners of the keyboard for quick access. (For example, I use the Z-key for Regenerate and the "." on the number pad for Save-and-Delete-Old-Versions.)
