Go to Help --> "List Hotkeys..." in Pcbnew, for example, and you'll see a nice list of shortcuts. What you *won't* see, however, are the mouse shortcuts. Ctrl + left click, for instance, is the "Highlight Net" mouse shortcut sequence. That's super useful! I accidentally discovered this one, and don't know what others may exist. Please list these in the Hotkeys list as well.

This is undoubtedly annoying - but since the hotkeys stuff is generally quite bound up with the legacy definitions, this might be more tractable in v6, when all the hotkeys come from only new-style TOOL_ACTIONs?

@Seth, absolutely. Modifying any of the hotkeys stuff seems to have a higher incidence of regressions than most other areas.
