As I prepared course materials for Stellarium 0.10.6 training, I captured the shortcuts required on an Apple MacBook. Now, for your reference, a Windows or Macintosh keyboard shortcut guide. Thanks to Sharmin!

* Recently new or changed shortcuts are marked with an asterisk.
† Keyboard shortcuts noted with a dagger are associated with a plug-in. They may not function if the plug-in is not active.
Most quick reference listings (including the one inside Stellarium's help) are improperly designed. They show the key first then the action, forcing you to think about a key combination, even if you're not interested in it. You'll see I've done the opposite!
Finally, when using Stellarium on the Apple Macintosh computer, the keyboard shortcuts shown in the help window and toolbar tip pop-ups are incorrect. For example, there are references to using the Ctrl key. This references to Windows. In general, on a Mac, substitute the Command key for the Ctrl...

Very well prepared list! I don't have to refine my own one now, am copying this one. Thanks Blake!
