Keyboard shortcuts for GHfW

Here's a listing of all the GHfW keyboard stuff that i can think of. Now i know them after writing this, but i figured it would be nice to have these documentated somewhere.

Rant: i dont know why people say that Windows users dont like using the keyboard for everything. That's certainly not true for me. Though, that may be the case from using Unix in college.

All screens

You can use Alt shortcuts. Hold down Alt and you'll see the underlines. Menus brought up this way have j & k navigations! Try it on the tools menu.
