I need to rephrase this I think. What I meant was what keyboard shortcuts do the pros use most often because I do not use any. That is my main problem right now. Which shortcuts are redundant and which ones are absolutely critical.

shift - for the build orders (maybe no need to say this)
alt + right mouse for attack move (important for engies to reclaim the map)
ctrl + x for all units
ctrl + a for all air units
ctrl + l for all land units
ctrl + b for all engies
ctrl + k to kill the acu (very important)

Ctrl-k to kill ACU

K and L are near each other, best to either rebind one of them OR get suicide confirmation (UI mod). My ACU and/or army went up in flames several times due to mistypes.
Don't complain about that which you aren't willing to change.

Ok so here is my first two games. Any feedback appreciated.

In this first game you can tell at a certain point I just am not sure what to do then suicide myself.

In my second game I did better but still think I can improve.

This was my fourth match against a rank 1800!! He came in EXTREMELY fast with air. Was not real sure how to deal with it but still squeeked in the win. Is there a better def. for this opener?
