Leraning ToonBoom

Near the start of September I saw someone on twitch called Gildedguy and he was using a program called Adobe flash which looked very good and never easy to use, I looked into it and a program called ToonBoom is the same but with better features and there was more and more big companies recently switching to ToonBoom because for how good it is.    

I wanted to learn this program but with uni and other projects I was afraid that I wouldn't get the time to, so I did the only thing I could; dive right in head first and do my uni projects in ToonBoom to force myself to learn it.

The interface it actual very easy to use but I hear a lot of people online say that it's very hard; so it's probable just a animation learning curve that I was fortunate enough to be used to animation interfaces.

The other thing I really liked about ToonBoom  was the how you could set so many different
thing to a shortcut and you can set a short cut to be anything such as (ctrl+shift+alt+A) which adobe and others don't let you do.
Here is the ones I use for my tablet. (S4 is not in use yet)

This here is what I'm working on next but I'm not sure what the final outcome is going to be yet.
