Everyone should setup their top 15-20 REVIT commands / tools in the Keyboard Shortcuts.

I use the 'Align' tool about 1500 times a day and i have it set to 'AA' not because I like my whiskey but because its right there by my left hand. I have 'AA' 'QQ' 'ZZ' 'SS' 'WW' 'XX' all alocated to my favorite tools because those keys are conveniently located by my left hand. I see no point in making a keyboard shortcut where the two keys are far apart on the keyboard right. Like 'WL' for Wall. Just make it 'WW'.

You're Welcome !

Good advice on the align, I use its a load and never really thought to chnage the binding from AL to AA. Stops me taking my right hand off the mouse. 

The Bindings I set up is ML for Manage Links and 00 for Close All Windows.

I use the same (double click on the same button) for many years. Many people i teach like it as well. Right handed users utilise buttons on the left. Another thing - i make my shortcuts in Revit the same as in AutoCAD (when possible). My friends also like it.
