Shortcut combinations WinXP 9Pre4

Here (below) is a long list of accessibility shortcut key combinations 
(taken from an Office Help File). It's pretty exhaustive, but a lot is 
already implemented, some of it won't be relevant or won't be possible to 
implement, and in any case no user knows all of these. In Amaya 9(Pre4) 
there is a problem with accessibility of the Tools task pane (on the left of 
the user interface): menus such as Attributes which used to be accessible 
from the main menu (File/Edit/XHTML/... etc.) and so used to have Alt- 
accelerator keys, are no longer accessible with the keyboard. The Office 
solution would be to use F6 to move to a task pane and then Tab to tab 
between the different "tabs" (XHTML, Attributes, Maths, XML...). But 
standard menu accelerator keys would do too (the little underlined letters 
you press with the Alt- key to select a menu).
    I would say that from the list below, the most common shortcuts are: 
Ctrl-c, Ctrl-v, Ctrl-x, Ctrl-y (redo), Ctrl-z (undo), Ctrl-i (for emphasis), 
Ctrl-b (for strong), Ctrl-o (for file open), Ctrl-s, F12 (save as), Ctrl-l 
(align left), Ctrl-r (align right), Ctrl-e (align centre), Ctrl-f (find), 
Ctrl-h (replace), Ctrl-j (justify), Ctrl-k (insert/modify hyperlink), Ctrl-a 
(select all, entire page), Alt-F4 (quit), Ctrl-F4 and Ctrl-w (close doc), F7 
(spell), F5 (refresh), Shift-Enter, Alt-Ctrl-c (copyright symbol © - an 
Alt-Ctrl-e euro symbol € would be cool too!). Plus, it's very neat to 
be able to format heading levels with Alt-Ctrl-1, Alt-Ctrl-2, Alt-Ctrl-3, 
etc.
