It seems to be widely available on the web.. The main ones that I used were the F keys for different brush modes but there were so many great shortcuts that any fan of Dpaint would have thier favourites and would miss them if they were ommitted I think!
If I get a chance to do it I will try and remember as many of the shortcuts as I can

I think what I will do, is create a shortcut key ini file where the user is free to change any shortcut key for the functions/tools within the program. That would be the most flexible way of dealing with it, as it will allow anyone to pick what they like best.

That looks like the list, I remember the F keys the best.

Having redefinablt keys is the perfect solution too for people who are used to other paint packages who want to try yours.
