For those interested, complete list of Windows keyboard short cuts here

I didn't realise that there were so many of them, but I did suspect that there would be a few more than CTRL-C & CTRL-Z etc

Years ago (this was around the time of the 486, maybe the P1) I had a keyboard (was relatively old even then, had the mechanical 'clicky' switches) made by Compaq if I remember correctly, it had a clear plastic panel that had all the common keyboard shortcut of the time on a piece of cardboard under it, very handy

It was that old that it had the old large 5 pin din plug on it rather than the ps2 plug, loved that keyboard, beautiful action, unfortunately it worked for a while with a din/ps2 adapter, but now everything is usb, plugging a usb/ps2 adapter into a ps2/din adapter, just doesnt work (even with the switch underneath in the 286 rather than the xt position... (that shows its age lol)

I love the original IBM keyboards. Fortunately they're still being made in Lexington Kentucky. When IBM spun off the PC division creating Lenovo the employees in Lexington bought the production machinery and the patent rights from IBM and started UNICOMP (pckeyboard.com). They still make the original buckling spring switch. I have three of them here. They work for a decade or more with little trouble and they rebuild old ones in Lexington cheaply.
