Learn to use control groups, and just read the tool-tips on all unit and building abilities, they will tell you what the hotkey is for that ability.

If you make units look what their hotkey is and then use the hotkey to produce not your mouse (mArine - A) Not really that hard to remember, is it? Then play lots of games always using hotkeys, if you don't remember just re-check them.

For production buildings (adding them with ctrl + number) use numbers like 4 -command center, 5- barracks, 6- factory, 7- starport (by hitting TAB you can switch between tech lab and reactor)
1,2,3 for army.( this is a starting point, you can use whatever configuration works best for you)

Now if you want to scan you hit 4+c+mouseclick.(4+E+mouse for MULE)
To produce marines you hit 5+AAA (+ TAB and DDD for tech lab and marauders)

When I am playing zerg I like to alternate mouse clicks and hotkey for faster production but thats another topic.

Also if you use arrow keys to exlore the map you need to get rid of that. Exploring will have to be done with mouse.
