The entire basic design of the original Mac inter-face, was to not use "keyboard commands". It's a graphic interface and the only reason keyboard commands were even made available, was to accommodate previous uses of DOS.
"Point & Click" is the method of choice. I have 40+ years of using MacOS, 5-6 hours a day and I don't know 90% of the keyboard "short cuts" nor have I ever used a "Function Key" ... those things are all left over from the DOS world or early Windows world, back when a mouse or trackpad was a novelty.
If the keyboard command uses any modifier other than the "Command key", it's most likely an added command to accommodate DOS/Windows user and contrary to the graphical interface MacOS derives from ... which is why the Command Key was called the "Apple Key" ... it's the only Function Key Macs had.
Folks who learned computers in the MacOS environment, typically don't use keyboard commands, as they're not necessary. It's like buying an automobile with Cruise Control and not using it on the highway, because it's too "new fangled" for your taste.
