Hi Doug,

One suggested addition for your Safari Keyboard Reference, unless you want to 
limit yourself to only cover commands listed under the Safari menu bar: Add the 
fact that pressing Command-1, Command-2 etc. will activate the first 9 
bookmarks in the Bookmarks Menu Bar, whether the Bookmarks Menu Bar is shown or 
hidden.

You might want to amend the descriptions for viewing and bookmark options to 
"show/hide" or "hide/show" for the commands that are toggle actions, e.g.:

Viewing:
To hide/show the tool bar press “Command-|”
To hide/show the Bookmarks Bar press “Command-Shift-b”.
To hide/show the Tab Bar press “Command-shift-t”.
To hide/show the Status Bar press “Command-/”.

Bookmarks:
To Show/Hide All Bookmarks press “Command-Option-b”.

You've written this up for the default Safari browser settings, which is fine, 
but many VoiceOver users choose to hide their bookmarks menu, etc. (so those 
items don't show up in item chooser menu), so it's convenient to know which 
shortcuts are toggles. 

Also, FYI when on the "Show All Bookmarks" page of Safari (Command-Option-b), 
the Command-f acts as filter to only show matches to bookmarks that contain the 
search string.  

If you're curious, you can point your browser to:
file:///Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Shortcuts.html

(You may have to copy this, then navigate to your address bar with Command-l, 
paste with command-v, and then press return to activate the link.)

This is a pointer to the Shortcuts resource page within your Safari Application 
Contents on your machine.  Some of these are alternative shortcuts, like 
"delete" and "shift-delete" to go backwards and forwards.  Also, one of the 
very commonly used Safari shortcuts for VoiceOver users is "Option-return" (or 
"Option-enter" if you're used to Windows naming "return" as the "enter" key).  
This is one of the shortcuts listed under "Other browser window shortcuts" as 
"Option-click a link" to download a file.  VoiceOver automatically 
selects/highlights links that it moves to, which is what the click action by 
sighted users does, so you only have to press "return" after pressing "option" 
to complete the action.  You'll find this is true for the other shortcuts that 
specify clicking on the link, too, so "Command-return" on a link will open the 
link in a new window or tab.

This shortcuts list was technically for Safari 4, so I'd check out any 
shortcuts before including, if you're interested in this.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther
