A couple techniques I use in my applications to aid the learning of
keystrokes are (1) An Alternate Menu command (Alt+F10) that presents a
complete, alphabetized list of all commands and their hot keys in a
standard listbox, and (2) a Hot Key Summary command (Alt+Shift+H) that
lists all commands, their hot keys, and a one-line summary, grouped by
purpose in a text file.
