Learn techniques of music production

Rather than learning specific programs. Yes learn a specific program and get fluent and quick in whatever program you have available to you, but look at larger techniques of how things are done.

Don’t just learn the specific program.

If you learn larger ideas and concepts within music production, recording, and engineering you’ll be able to switch programs and use whatever program easily.

You won’t know all of the keyboard shortcuts, but you’ll be able to think backwards from the end result. It’ll take time to work in a new program well, but knowing what the end result should sound like and what techniques are involved in creating that sound will make that process faster.
