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 have found this list, which is from Deluxe Paint II. Its most likely very similar to the other versions.

[Brush]

 B  - Restore
 O  - Outline
 h  - Halve brush size
 H  - Double brush size
 x  - Flip brush on X axis
 X  - Double brush size on X axis only
 y  - Flip on Y
 Y  - Double on Y
 z  - Rotate brush 90 degrees
 Z  - Strech

[Stencil]

 `  - Stencil On

[Miscellaneous]

F9  - Info Bar
F10 - Selection Bar

 Q  - Quit

[General Keys]

 m  - Magnify
 <  - Zoom In
 >  - Zoom Out
 [  - Palette Colour Up
 ]  - Palette Colour Down
 (  - Palette Colour Left
 )  - Palette Colour Right
 ,  - Eye Dropper
 .  - Pixel / Brush Toggle
 /  - Symmetry
 |  - Co-Ordinates
INS - Perspective Control
+/- - Brush Size (Fine Control)
 w  - Unfilled Polygon
 W  - Filled Polygon
 e  - Unfilled Ellipse
 E  - Filled Ellipse
 r  - Unfilled Rectangle
 R  - Filled Rectangle
 t  - Type/text tool
 a  - Select Font
u/U - Undo
 d  - Brush
 D  - Filled Non-Uniform Polygon
f/F - Fill Options
g/G - Grid
h/H - Brush Size (Coarse Control)
 K  - Clear
 c  - Unfilled Circle
 C  - Filled Circle
 v  - Line
 b  - Scissor Select and Toggle
 B  - Brush
{,} - Toggle between two background colours

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.
