About Krita and its shortcuts
Krita is a painting program, and its keyboard reflects what a painter repeats: brush size and opacity, switching between brush presets, rotating and mirroring the canvas, and layer work. The canvas navigation commands matter more here than in a photo editor, because you are constantly turning the drawing.
Krita ships alternative shortcut schemes that imitate other painting software, and every binding is editable. Shortivo publishes the Windows list.
