Oh, I missed those ones. They are at http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-control-center/capplets/keybindings/gnome-keybinding-properties.c?view=markup > I'm in two minds on whether it's worth listng these > all in the docs.

I believe it would be useful to have a reference list of key shortcuts in GNOME. One issue that worries me though, is, keybindings should be stable between versions of GNOME. Users who get used to specific keybindings don't like it when they change. I do not know if there is a somewhat formal process as to what gets put in the keybindings. Should the Usability list be involved in this as to which keybindings are usable or what new keybindings should be added?
