You don't really learn a new program through theory alone. Sure, you can read a manual. You can look at screenshots. You can have someone explain what each button does.

Press ANY Key

press-any-key

Anyone who calls from a laptop or PC quickly encounters the problem: there are more things you want to do with a single keystroke than there are conveniently available keys.
