Appendix
How the list was generated
The shortcuts and descriptions in this document were generated by using the -internal=GENERATEKEYHELP command line argument in AX which outputs all kernel actions that have associated accelerator keys. The descriptions have been edited to contain more content for clarification, if necessary. The contents have also been truncated to only include commands which dont require a menu to be invoked.

For instance, the menu item File >> Print Preview has the accelerator key i" when the menu is open, but cant be invoked without first opening the menu, unlike File >> Print, which can be invoked simply by pressing Ctrl + P.

Menu Key Explanation

Certain entries in the list refer to the Menu key. The key is located between the Alt and Ctrl keys on the right side of most modern desktop keyboards and in the upper right area on laptop keyboards:

The key invokes the context menu for wherever focus currently resides. Entries that use the Menu key have been added in cases where using the Menu key to invoke an action requires the same or less keystrokes or for certain actions that do not have a non-menu accelerator key.
