Cool.  I think I've seen some of those before, but I couldn't tell you where.

Shortcuts are always nice....

Awesome, +1 man.

Would've come in particularly handy earlier today as I was struggling to guess how to make caps or delete to the right.

Another thanks, they are all in the PDF manual, but great having them listed in one spot.

HELP !  Vital shortcut not working: 

Browser: find within page is NOT menu+F

Does not work for me, anyone else? Instead it opens google search bar at top, while greying out present browser window.  When search term is filled in, press enter, it searches web insteads of within current page....

Who's got a workaround?  Also: would be nice to be able to select (highlight) text within webpage....

Thanks!
