There are shortcuts to nearly everything in QB, if you hit the Alt key. You will see little underlines. This is the "ALT Shortcuts" and this is Windows-compliant shortcuts.

Add Job from the customer center would be Alt +N, then +A, and you don't even need the ALT menu turned on for this. Look at the tabs in the customer list, at the top of the Customer Names, to see the underlines are already turned on here.

From the Home Page, it would be Alt +U, then C, then N, then A.

"change bill back to bill (after 'ctrl+d' changed it to credit)"

Alt +D, then Shift-Tab, then Spacebar. Spacebar selects radio buttons and checkmarks boxes.

Create estimate (from home page) is Atl +U, then +E.

Receive Payment is Atl +U, then +Y (from the Home page). From the Customer Center, you also can use Alt +T, then +Y.

Just keep holding the Alt and hit the various shortcut keys.
