You can get away with 6-7hotkeys actually. For example:

Q – Create Villager, Knight, Archer, Ram, Militia, Unique Unit, build a Farm

E – Create Scout, Skirm, Onager, Treb, Pike, build a House

R – Build Barracks AND select all Barracks

F – Build Archery AND select all Archeries

C – Build Stable AND select all Stables

T – Build TC AND select all TCs

Tab – go to an idle villager

The most important: go to tc, next idle vil, create villager

For buildings: House, farm, lumber/mill/mine, baracks, stable, archery.
Focus on those as a starter

The default DE hotkeys are in a grid. Where the buttons are in the UI the hot keys are (top-left is Q)
