Back in the days, the focus was on computers itself as a promise of profound impact on the way we do things. Nobody really thought about ergonomics, the goal was to provide functionality first. Therefore, we had rectangular mouse bricks. Another thing is the numpad location. Placed on the right-side it forces you to move hand from mouse to numpad every time you required to enter a number.
Probably the original intention was making it easier for the right-handed people to use numpad as a calculator. It was before the mouse became a common input device. As a result, we have unnecessary friction of moving hand between mouse and numpad.
The software was also designed to provide functionality first. It was not considered how many letters a person had to type to access a command or how long the mouse path had to be and how many clicks needed to be done. Many moons have passed but we can still see the ergonomics flaws which were planted at the dawn of computer technology. When I was faced with tight deadlines and pressure at work I collapsed like a house of cards.
Then after calming down, I started to think why AutoCAD does not have simple one key shortcuts… Other software packages have them. I have tried aliases and realized that they often require to type 2 or 3 letters which are all over the keyboard and press spacebar at the end. GrantsPirate Piping and Mech.

An alias should reduce a command by at least two characters. Try the first character of the command, then try the first two, ; then the first three. Use a hyphen to differentiate between command line and dialog ; box commands.
