Is there a spot that lists all the default/built-in macros?

Examples: Shift+Ctrl+8 (brings up triggers), Alt+3 (brings up Logging)

I've search the forums and documentation, but I couldn't find a list, so I decided to ask here before giving up.

Some entries occur twice because they have one action in the main world window and a different one if the notepad window is active.

That's exactly what I wanted. Thanks!

Improved post to show when the keystrokes are active. For my own information this is the SQL used to produce it:


SELECT accelerator AS Accelerator, 
       short_description AS Description, 
       window_description AS 'When' FROM commands 
       LEFT JOIN window_types USING (when_active) 
       WHERE accelerator IS NOT NULL 
       ORDER BY accelerator;
