Not as a snark or anything, but where do you get a list of defined 
usability and accessibility keyboard shortcuts? I can only think of a 
couple off the top of my head that seem ubiquitous, such as ctrl-c, 
ctrl-v, ctrl-x for copy/paste/cut and then probably ctrl-u, i and b for 
visual text formating.

I just tried ctrl-z and ctrl-shift-z ctrl-y in my open applications that 
support text entry. Thunderbird recognized ctrl-z as undo and both 
shift-ctrl-z and ctrl-y as redo. Undo and redo went back to the last 
dash I wrote, going over a period. I presume there is some logic behind 
it, but I can't tell you what. Trillian recognized ctrl-z as undo and 
undid my typing one character at a time. It didn't recognize 
ctrl-shift-z but it did recognize ctrl-y.

I'd be really curious to see a list of commonly recognized shortcuts and 
what programs support them. It will probably be more and more useful as 
we start developing web applications as applications more than pages.
