Adobe has released a free AIR app that has the default keyboard shortcuts for 12 Creative Suite 4 applications. It’s a quick download from Adobe’s Air Marketplace site and installs in seconds.
The installer places a shortcut on the desktop and once launched, in addition to InDesign you’ll have access to the keyboard shortcuts to Acrobat, After Effects, Contribute, Dreamweaver, Encore, Fireworks, Flash, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere, and Soundbooth.
The Shortcut App is platform seems to be platform aware (it showed me the Windows KBSCs on my desktop) defaulting to the appropriate shortcuts for Windows or Mac but gives you access to both with a mouse click. It provides separate listing for what are considered essential shortcuts as well as the full sets. You can easily create you own list of favorites for easy access. As you can see from the screenshot below, you will need to put up with some advertising from Adobe but if you want a nice convenient place to find any shortcut in the suite this fits the bill nicely.
