   Great list! Many of the shortcuts were new to me.
   "^E" is twice on the list? May 12th, 2008 at 9:44 am

   Chris, I'll have to look into that--not on my Mac now.

   Great list. Some of those I already knew and use but many options I did not know of.
   
   I wonder: I am using a "foreign" keyboard. Moving one word backward or forward is Option + Arrow (Left or Right). Option+Command+Arrow does nothing more than move the cursor one character. May 12th, 2008 at 2:27 pm

   Sorry to be so dense, but there is a character that is used all over the place on Apple shortcuts that you used also that I can't figure out. Go to the shortcut for "move one word to the right". What is that the symbol after the "command" key and before the "right arrow"? For that matter, where do I go to find this sort of info out. I apologize for being new to the Mac, but after a couple of decades on a PC, I really haven't figured out where all the Mac resources are.
