Keyboard Shortcut Reference

ToDo Tables could have a more pleasing format/color (but see other examples, in tutorials). Should be sized with same column widths as each other. Also needs all the current shortcuts adding (a major task).

I've pasted in below (unformatted) all the current commands which can have an associated shortcut, and the default commands (because the list above is incomplete). 1) Should we stick with a natural, functional grouping as above, or stick to the order in the Preferences? 2) Should we list (separately?) commands which can have an associated shortcut but which by default don't have one? I think yes on balance, as even the JAWS guide does not have that information. There are still a number of commands you can't have shortcuts for, even in the menus (is this an oversight we should fix, in which case maybe we don't need a list of all the commands you can set bindings for? ) - Gale
