I modified a little bit the usual AC shortcuts.
I use the :
1. "command+D" for drag
2. "command + R" for rotate
3. "alt " for pick up parameter
4. "alt + command" for inject parameter
5. "command+D+command (+alt)" for drag multiple copy's
6. "command+M" for Miror
7. the spacebar for the select tool - like in Photo Shop
8. L for Line
9. C for circle
10. T for Text
11. "command+spacebar" to toggle the reference
12. F2 for adjust
13. F3 for intersect
14. F4 for split

these are the most common used by me ...

I love keyboard shortcuts. I use a lot.
I have ALT-1 to ALT-9 assigned to all kinds of thing like Lock/Unlock, Fillet/Chamfer/Intersect/Split/Align etc.
Hundreds of things can be assigned a shortcut in AC so it is really up to you.
You should set them to the shortcuts that is the most comfortable and self-evident for you.

All the default short cuts + my own. I find F & Shift+F for moving forward and backward in pet palettes very useful.

Given that I have the mouse permanently welded to my right hand, I restrict my shortcut keys to those I can manage with my left (without straying from the 'home' keys).

Among my favourites:
D dimension
E text mode
W wall
Q measure
Ctrl - ' zoom all
Ctrl - A zoom previous
Ctrl - Q zoom window
Ctrl - X delete
Ctrl - D drag (Ctrl - Alt - D) drag a copy
Ctrl - E rotate (Ctrl - Alt - E) rotate a copy
Ctrl - S mirror (Ctrl - Alt - S) mirror a copy
Ctrl - F fillet
Ctrl - R fillet with radius
Ctrl - Z undo
Ctrl - Alt - Z redo

I've never mastered the Apple key on a MAC. Perhaps this CAD monkey doesn't have an opposable thumb!

All of the above and more. One hand should be working the mouse, and the other the keyboard. CTRL+shift+L for quick layers palette
You can customize them in your work environment.
You can also see and print out what archicad ships with from the keyboard shortcuts window in your work environment
