Family Historian supports a number of Keyboard shortcuts. Some are detailed in the ƒh help, see Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts.  You can also use the Alt key to navigate through the ƒh menus: press the Alt key and a letter will be underlined on each menu item. Press that key and a letter will be underlined on each sub-menu item. Hit return when you’ve found the item you want.  So, for example Alt F W brings up the Project Window.  Menu items you use regularly can become second nature to access via the keyboard.

You may also find utilities such as AutoHotKey useful.
