Learn AutoHotKey by stealing my scripts
I used to use an Ann Pro 2 keyboard. By default, h, j, k, l could be used as arrow keys when fn was held down. The fn keys also remapped '[]' to 'home' and 'end', ";'" to pgup, pgdown, and '/' to delete. It also had this feature where the caps lock key acted as a fn key when held down. I very quickly got used to holding the caps lock key with my left pinky to access all the keys I needed with my right hand. I became much more productive on this little 60% keyboard than on any full-sized one as I never had to move my fingers from the home row.
I've now switched to a qmk compatible Keychron V2 (65%) keyboard and remapped the keys exactly the same way. I'm very tempted to go back to a more compact 60% since I literally never use the arrow keys.
When I use my laptop on the go, AHK to the rescue. I found a script[0] that does almost the same thing, unfortunately, it fails when I use more than one modifier with the arrow keys. For example: shift + ctrl + left arrow to select one word to the left, which is shift + ctrl + caps lock + h in my case, doesn't work.

Shortcut for rotating canvas by 15° left or right without a mouse
I don't like using my mouse while drawing and I couldn't find how to do this anywhere, but luckily when I was about to give up I achieved it! So, for this you'll need a program called SharpKeys. You can download it here: https://github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys/

Caps Lock Behaviour Disabled in Gnome
Sharpkeys can swap keys, the readme says as much:
> Things that SharpKeys will do:
> ...
> Allow you to swap two keys with each other - e.g. you can swap Left Windows with Left Control and vice versa
I do have a vague recollection of Sharpkeys previously saying that it couldn’t, but that I tried and it worked. Long time since I last used Windows though.

Total Commander
> Total commander isn’t FOSS.
I'm aware of that. There are lots of FOSS equivalents, though. Including, I believe, on Windows. Wikipedia lists 23 of which I think -- haven't checked -- the majority are FOSS.

> Ironically windows 11 can’t do vertical taskbars.
True. Easily fixed with Explorer Patcher, though. Which, ironically, is FOSS.
> And where in windows can you change the system shortcuts?
I don't use it much any more and stopped early this century, so my knowledge here may be out of date.
When I do, I use SharpKeys to put a GUI on editing the relevant registry keys for keyboard remapping.

In the NT 3.x era, it was the properties of every EXE's PIF file. So I set Crtl+Alt+(initial) to open my most used apps. Ctrl+Alt+D for DOS, E for Excel, W for Word, etc.
This still works with limitations under Win9x through to XP, which is when I jumped off the Windows ship.
But mostly it's about learning the many many built-ins.

Menu Key in Adobe Premiere (Windows)
This application can be used to do that. You'll notice it can't see the menu key either if you try to autodetect it, so you need to set it manually. It's listed as:
