You know, in the Blender source files you can find EVERY hotkey there is.
It can be found at this location:
…\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts\hotkeys.py
There's even a nice little description of what every hotkey does ^^.
I might create a map showing ALL hotkey one of these days, for my own convience, although those mentioned above are pretty comprehensive as well.

I'm not sure about a Blender touch, but the Unix "touch" updates a file's timestamp - i.e. its modified date. I'd presume that Blender's touch function does the same.

while we're on the subject, does anybody know what blender actually does when you "touch" a file (TKEY in fileselect window)? - I've never been able to figure out what it does, there's a similar command in the linux console too, maybe I should look that one up on the net, it might give some hints as to what it does in blender…

@Neokilly:
but you can zoom in/out while panning too; so it dosen't necessarily have to be zoomed in by 2x ;)
-
alternatively, you can zoom in/out first and pan with MMB - if you don't like the arkward controls when pressing ZKEY!

@ Tynach

It would be quite easy to get that in Blender.
Using the pictures of the shortcut keys, write a simple script to change from one image to another whenever a mode is changed.
I thought about doing that, But it would take up too much room on my computer screen, and I hate cluttered workspaces.

I think could write a script that would do that in about 5 - 10 minutes, but I don't know if my python modules would work in Blender…

There is a Blender function that allows you to get what mode blender is in, isn't there?

The period key, (center view on selected object/s) is not in there. Nor in the reference pages.

Thats probably why it took me a while to find (a post about it on elysium) such usefull key.

Maybe there is a reason its not there, but i didnt rtfa.

A program showing all the shortcuts would be better; have the Blender window open and have a different window with the keyboard on it, and you click shift and it tells you the options for it… A virtual Optimus keyboard!

Windows comes with something lke that, but it only shows letters and symbols.

I SERIOUSLY want one of those optimus keyboards… I would give up all my life's savings for one! (32 US dollars)

Hehe, I knew this was a good idea to ask here for render windows Hotkeys!

Each person knows ont little thing on it and it's worth put all these information together in my opinion.

so,
@pamtango (and epat) : thanks ;)
