I do so too, with quite similar arguments. I have a blog post about learning all VSCode Shortcuts[1] (did the same for PyCharm) and how it evolved my developing habits. Without learning the shortcuts, many IDE features are not usable. So, if you don't learn the shortcuts, you will not start to use these new features. Consequently, learning shortcuts on the go often does not work.

I fully agree also on creating your own cheat sheets. That's why I have developed an entire app around this idea: KeyCombiner[2]!

It let's you create your own collections, practice them via an interactive trainer and spaced repetition, look them up without context switch through the desktop app's instant look, visualize them on a virtual keyboard, etc.
