The Adobe Shortcut App is a free rich Internet application that gives you easy access to keyboard shortcuts in twelve programs that are in Creative Suite 4:

* Acrobat
* After Effects
* Contribute
* Dreamweaver
* Encore
* Fireworks
* Flash
* Illustrator
* InDesign
* Photoshop
* Premiere
* Soundbooth

When you first click on an application's icon, you'll see an "Essentials" screen with commonly needed shortcuts. There's also an "All Categories" tab that include the essential shortcuts and many others. You can search the shortcuts, and mark the ones you need frequently as favorites. There's also a cheat sheet in PDF form for each program.

The Adobe Web site that hosts the Adobe Shortcut App download lists the App creator as "Adobe Students," which is Adobe itself. You can tell that by the many ads for Creative Suite 4 Adobe Student Edition. But if you ignore those ads, you'll find the Shortcut App a very useful thing indeed.

Re "Download URL broken"

Oh, too bad! Adobe has removed this app from its Marketplace. I don't know why.
