Thanks for the tip, had not found that one yet. Mostly I'm used to menu
items listing their shortcuts. Not having to wander around looking for
where MS hid the information. That gets it down to two steps to the
mac's one.

Many things on a mac can be done with sortcuts. Applescripts and such
like can even make these very, very complex things if you wish. It can
record your actions to make the Applescript if you wish. And what each F
key does is editable too, pops up on any unassigned F key.
