Default Collection of shortcuts (possibly infuriating)

Well, perhaps annoying. If you include the comments, this article from the NY Times has hundreds of shortcuts and a few tips.

They're not classified, and how many you find useful depends on your knowledge level. Beginners will probably have a very high unknown:known ratio.

Don't be misled by its title, however; there are some nuggets in there that will help even experts.

What I personally found irritating is that I was compelled to read through the entire thing and all 600+ comments because about every 10 to 15 was a pretty good shortcut I didn't know, and buried within were some amazingly good ones. And just when I'd start thinking, way too basic for me, there would be something that was both useful and that I didn't know.

Thanks for sharing this and for your diligence in plowing through it to determine its worth. You are appreciated.

I could have spent that time looking for that coding error that I haven't found yet though.
