Sometimes I think I have successfully clicked into a typeable text box (eg. Clip Name) but I haven't and so I look down at my keyboard and start typing and then look up to see nothing in the text box and wonder, what did I just do?

Keyboard shortcuts don't seem to be sorted alphabetically and the search also doesn't seem to be able to search for the shortcut, so it takes a bit of time to hunt through them to find out what I've done. And that's assuming there were no tupos.

Undo only undoes some things and not others. For example, it doesn't undo turning off automation.

In case anyone else needs to know:
C = click on/off
H = automation read on/off
O = Set out-marker
R = Record
U = Punch out of automation record mode
S = Scrolling on/off

So my FR is to have a list of things that have been done, whether or not those things are added to the undo/redo list. But it would be nice for the list to show which things are undo-able. It's also helpful for those times when you try to undo an action that is no undo-able (eg. scrolling on/off) but something was undone and find yourself wondering, what did I just undo?
Surely there must be consensus by now...

Seconded, as this happens to me quite a bit...and I too have typed CHORUS and tried to figure out what just happened.
Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and even Deezer, whatever the hell Deezer is.

I asked for this previously back for W9.

Back then it just wasn't technically possible. I still think it would be really nice.

I'd settle for just a hotkey pressed list because that's pretty much 100% of what I've done without knowing I did it.

Other things I would settle for:
1) Sorting hotkey list by hotkey
2) Searching hotkey list by hotkey
3) Having the Control Panel maximized by default

That 3rd one is because I'm still so used to selecting a track, hitting Tab, then starting to type.
Surely there must be consensus by now...
