Draft 3 by Jesse Ruderman. To do: get input on wording, get input on choice of shortcuts to include and grouping, make Mac and Linux versions, get reviews, make this a part of help, mark bug 84622 as fixed, file a bug asking for a "Keyboard Shortcuts" item on the Help menu.
Use View > Use Stylesheet to hide the "wanted" items. I would have hidden them by default, but a bug in Mozilla's CSS handling prevents hidden table rows from appearing when I try to unhide them.
This is a partial list of the keyboard shortcuts in Mozilla Navigator. Some other shortcuts are listed in menus, and many obvious shortcuts such as "press down to select the next menu item" have been omitted.
Notation: "Alt + Left" means "Hold the Alt key and press Left".
