From: "Chris Antos (Exchange)" 
i have trouble remembering some of my handy little macro keys, too.
so what i have done is two things, which work great for me.
1 - use the two-key combinations, so i only have to remember one key for
a whole bunch of commands.  for example:
    "{A}-align {B}-bookmark {C}-chart etc..."
    align(...)
    bookmark(...)
    chart(...)
NOTE:  the "..." is just my way of saying "fill this in with whatever".
it's just an example to illustrate the idea.
2 - use a menu (my preferred way).  again, i only have to remember one
key for a bunch of commands.  for example:
menu FooMenu()
title = "handy stuff"
"&Align", align(...)
"&Bookmark", bookmark(...)
"&Chart", chart(...)
end
    FooMenu()
