Yeah I have this one mapped too and use it all the time! To “trim” the end of the flow I’m accustomed to shift clicking the empty bars I no longer want and using the same shortcut. Different way to skin a cat I suppose, but works for me.

Early on I remapped my rhythmic grid (increase/decrease) to numpad +/- rather than the default which I think is cmd+brackets. This is also because I work in DAWs and what I’d been accustomed to there.
cmd +/- to increase or decrease any selected dynamic value. I use this one CONSTANTLY. It’s a dream to be able to quickly adjust dynamics.
alt +/- to increase or decrease selected rhythmic note values.
I changed my numpad asterisk * to activate note input (in addition to shift+N), when my right hand fingers are hovering over the numpad and my left hand on my midi piano, I like to be able to activate note input without needing to move over with a modifier key. I forget what the default was but apparently not something I use enough…
numpad = to enter tuplets.
(it does not bother me that flat/sharp are taken over here, esp since I mostly play in from a keyboard)
I have function keys opening windows like the mixer and plugins, and the editor windows for playing/playback techniques, perc & exp maps.
And also added shift+spacebar to double up ‘p’ play from selection, because I like my transport start/stop functions to be focused on spacebar – perhaps a habit from the world of DAWs, and not wanting to reach across.
From the defaults I live and die by all the navigation and duplication shortcuts. Moving or copying music up and down (M/N variants), and my favorite of all, ‘R’ – so much so I have modified my DAW shortcuts to match this behavior wherever possible. It’s amazing!

I like that idea. But how did you manage to remove the original shortcuts for the pitches? When I try to create a shortcut using one of these letters I get a warning that it is already in use, but no option to remove the existing shortcut.
You have to go to the command that’s already using that shortcut and remove it from there, and then add it to your preferred command.
Here’s a good one I’ve just found:
In the forum, press g,j to go to the next thread down the list, or g,k to go to the next thread up the list!

That is what I have done for other changes to shortcuts I have made, but I simply can’t find the shortcuts for pitch in the preferences. Where are they?
Edited: See asherber below.
No! The Reset Key Commands button will delete all of your customizations and return all shortcuts to their default values.
But if you press the Add Key Command button after getting the warning, you will get a dialog prompting you to remove that one shortcut from its current command and assign it to the new one.

I stand corrected. It’s been years since I customized. I will edit my post so as not to mislead anyone.

It seems that the pitch letter shortcuts can not be removed. I am allowed to assign them to other things, but when in note input mode they still select pitch. But for functions that one would not use during note input it is fine.
What a great topic!
Here are my key commands I use the most:
Make into system: Shift + í
Beam together: Shift + y
Unbeam: í
Signpost: Ctrl +h
Save as: Ctr+Shift+ő
Staccato: W
Tenuto: ú
Delete bars: Á
Accent: ű
Run last script: Ctr+Á
Run script: Ctr+Shift+Á
Remove rest: Shift+‘-’
