Download the C# Keybindings in a spreadsheet.
Note that many of the keybindings stem from Visual Studio classes such Edit, Project, View, Window and Refactor. To see the complete list of methods for these classes, bring up the command window (Ctrl-W, A) and type File followed by a period. IntelliSense on all the methods for the File object will appear in the command window, just as if you were working with a C# class in the editor window. You can also see this classes in the find/command box on the toolbar (Ctrl + /). Inside the find/command box, type the the greater than symbol followed by the word Find and a period: >Find.
Here is a quick overview of the keybindings without the text that explains the purpose of each binding. You can also download a version of these bindings that will toggle hiding and showing the keybindings. You can use this feature to quiz yourself on the bindings. See the poster or the spreadsheet to retrieve the text explaining each keybinding:

Thank you for once again taking the trouble to produce the keybinding posters. Don't think we're unappreciative of your efforts, but it does seem time to remind you that three-quarters of the technological world is metric, and the posters are once again incorrectly sized for A4 paper.Anonymous
