I'm a programmer (and have coded a module for LS too), but have never
actually written a LS script. I use themes other people have made (I
have to, since I suck at graphics :P ), and then I just change
whatever shortcuts are around. The last point is also a lot easier now
than before since most modern themes have some sort of mechanism for
making this easier for you (my current theme pops up a dialog when you
right click the shortcut).

After you've had a theme for a while, you start seeing stuff that
would make more sense for you if they were another way, and then you
do some more editing, but that's the most advanced stuff I've ever
done in the themeing business.
