[edit] Table of keyboard shortcuts

Table of keyboard shortcuts (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article simply lists some common keyboard shortcuts for various window managers and OSes. There's no accompanying commentary. Wikipedia is not an instruction manual. This should really be in Wikibooks or some other wiki. —Psychonaut 10:29, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

• Transwiki as nominator. —Psychonaut 10:29, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment normally, isn't the transwiki first, and the deletion second? Dhaluza 00:48, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Sure, once there's consensus to do so. I'm not about to transwiki the article if people overwhelmingly decide to keep it on Wikipedia. —Psychonaut 03:41, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep so someone can write the commentary. DGG 01:45, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy keep I don't think AfDs should be used as a "articles for transwiking" & there have been no deletion votes. This is a fairly reasonable "list" & I agree with DGG that it could be encyclopedic with commentary. If it should be transwikied, I think the talk page for the article is a better place to start than here. --Karnesky 13:57, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Software-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 10:25, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep But add significance with commentary, otherwise it's just another user manual. --BsayUSD [Talk] [contribs] 03:11, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
• Merge with keyboard shortcut (or just keep—I'm not fussed) and improve commentary (on OS/package differences and similairities, reasons for letters used, origin and usage history of individual shortcuts (or groups thereof) and modifier keys) —Joe Llywelyn Griffith Blakesley _{talk contrib} 12:32, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, useful, nice use of the list concept. -- Steve Hart 15:45, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, I started this page and it has improved to become probably the most complete table of keyboard shortcuts anywhere on the web. As of now it has little commentary, but it acts as a table of contents and links to many concepts described with own pages. -- Claesh1 20:48, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
