Logickeyboard offers keyboard shortcut replacement keycaps
If you really want to master a powerful piece of software like Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, or Aperture you need to use the keyboard shortcuts. Of course, memorizing all those combo can be quite daunting, and so keyboard overlays have long been a convenient "cheat sheet." Logickeyboard takes this idea to the next level by offering a complete set of replacement keycaps preprinted with the keyboard shortcuts. They have recently released a set for Aperture, but they also have sets for Photoshop, Pro Tools, Logic, Final Cut Pro and more. The keycaps set even includes a tool for yanking the keycaps off your keyboard. Most of the sets are only for the presently shipping white Apple Keyboard. If you're the less adventurous type you can also just purchase a wired or wireless keyboard with the keycaps pre-installed.Needless to say, this kind of thing is probably only going to appeal to somebody who spends a lot of their time in a singe application. Nonetheless, it might be a helpful way to speed up the process of becoming a keyboard ninja in your program of choice. The keycap sets run $59 for mangling your own, or you can purchase a pre-made one for $99 wired or $119 wireless (versus Apple's standard price of $29 and $59, respectively).

I find if I use the app enough, I learn what they are eventually.
These things might shorten the learning time, which might make up for the cost in added productivity. The thing is, what I've done is just use a sharpie to carefully write on the detail. I'll usually have memorized the functionality before the writing wears off.

Awesome idea. But no InDesign? Huh?

I change the keyboard shortcuts for most of the pro apps I use anyway, (zoom in/out horizontally are set to h/g etc.)so it wouldn't be worth the exorbitant cost.
