NX keyboard shortcuts

[F. S. Farimani]

I have created a GitHub repository collecting all the useful Keyboard shortcuts I have learned so far:

If you have things to add feel free to open new issues or even send pull requests.

I do not know if you have seen this or not:
If you right click on any of the the NX icons you will see an option "Customize..."
then in the dialog that appears, there is a "Keyboard..." button bottom right. click that.
in the new dialog you can set new keyboard shortcuts for almost any function,
and you can click the "report" button to see a complete list of the shortcuts. ( Which I think is quite similar to your tips page ?)

And, if you set new shortcuts, save a new "user role". The "role" will store your shortcuts and allow for re-applying the shortcuts.

unfortunately NX have few shortcuts, and telling users to make their own is not very helpful.
I used Alt-M combos: do a command once, remember the combo and use it many-many times.
Alas, after we switched to NX12 Alt-M combos became a pain:
now have to wait like 1 second between each letter entered until submenu is rendered. Before the Alt-M combo was going into a buffer, and the needed command could be reached in one swoop very quickly. E.g. Extrude is Alt-M,S,E,R is entered in a fraction of a second.

Anyone knows workarounds?
I hope NX team at some point will start paying attention to keyboard input usability.
