On the subject of consistent keyboard shortcuts, does anyone here have a copy of the complete Common User Access documents? What I can find online (linked to from Wikipedia below) is incomplete.

Alternatively, I'm also interested in a comprehensive listing of Common User Access keyboard shortcuts. Without the original documents themselves, I'm not sure how comprehensive (or accurate) what I'm seeing online is.

You can find a copy of ISBN 1565291700 [0] on Libgen, or a used print copy on Amazon or AbeBooks etc. The book contains a table of keyboard shortcuts, although I’m not sure whether it’s complete. It’s probably also possible to order the references listed in [0] from IBM, but I haven’t tried that.

The *.boo files linked under [0] can be read on Windows using the IBM Softcopy reader [1].

+1. Yes, please!

I've been searching for the same for years. I even bought a set of one of the revisions of the printed and bound documents IBM produced on an eBay auction one time, only to have the seller cancel the order.

My next step is to start hunting some university library catalogs to see if I can find them that way, but digital would be preferred!
