Another tip if you are mousing through a native app's menus in the menu bar, holding ⌘, ⌥, ^ and ⇧ (or combinations of them) will show you the alternate options in that menu that those extra keys in the combo perform.

One of my favorite things about the macOS shortcut system is this idea of variations on operations using variations on shortcuts. They've kept the system remarkably consistent.

Last tip is that if you want a quick way to type keyboard shortcuts, set up keyboard text expansions for things like "commandkey", "optionkey", "shiftkey" etc that resolve to those symbols. I found it slightly fast than bringing up the emoji picker with ^ + spacebar and typing e.g. "place name" for ⌘. (What is the icon for spacebar??)
