Is there a list of "Apple" commands?

I'm a brand-new MacBook owner, never to touch another Windows-ish PC again, God willing. Is there a "list" somewhere of key commands for the MacBook that I can print off and have on hand until I can memorize them? I'd also appreciate any newbie tips you might have for me... I have the 2.16GHz, 2GB, 120GB system with OSX and Office for the Mac. TIA.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.9)

If you dig using keyboard commands make sure to look into an app called Quicksilver ( http://quicksilver.blacktree.com ).

Quicksilver is diffficult to explain because it can do sooooo much. Here is a quick intro http://theappleblog.com/2005/02/18/quicksilver-changes-everything/ .

It has a learning curve but once you start to use for more than just app launching you will never want to be without it.

it's tough to find a truly 'complete' list. Below I pasted Apples listed Safari's shortcuts, which are accessed through Safari's debug menu (which is hidden and an entire topics on it's own) Also there are thing like holding to the shift key when selecting multiple items, it highlights everything between the first and last items. And holding control when scrolling (2 fingers on the trackpad-check your mouse prefs) uses Universal Access or is equal to Command (Apple key) Option minus or equal. Ok here the shortcuts are:
