Hi,

I agree here with Lukas, keep standard the most shortcuts possible if 
you can make them works because here in Gnome I never could really use 
Krita 's shortcuts ; they seam to be broken and sometime works ( all ) 
and sometimes only few works. So, it's a bit frustrating at the moment, 
and I prefer click on the menu. I never did a bug repport about it 
because I don't know the reason why sometimes it works or sometime it 
doesn't.

For other shortcuts , here are under the common Industry* standards for 
2D painting, just for information of what most of painting user are used 
to do :
(*Industry = Manga Studio / Photoshop / Painter / Sai etc... )

Pan :             space
Zoom in :     Ctrl space
Zoom out :   Ctrl alt space
( The navigation  standard Adobe / QuarkXpress and so all graphic 
industry )

Color picker : alt

Duplicate :    Ctrl J
Duplicate all visible :  Ctrl Maj J
Flat : Ctrl E
Transform: Ctrl T


Undo : Ctrl Z
Redo : Ctrl Y

Select All : Ctrl A
Deselect All : Ctrl D
Invert (filter negatif ) : Ctrl i
Invert select : Ctrl Maj i
Tweak color hue/sat/lum : Ctrl U
( colorize picture ; Ctrl Maj U )
Tweak levels : Ctrl L
Tweak curves : Ctrl B
Redo last filter : Ctrl F

Copy : Ctrl C
Copy threw all layers : Ctrl Shift C
Paste : Ctrl V
Cut : Ctrl X
Save : Ctrl S
Save As : Ctrl Maj S
Open : Ctrl O
New : Ctrl N

Brush Tool  :  B
Eraser :   E
Text Tool : T ( or Ctrl + T )

type on number :  set brush opacity
( ex: 5=50% 55=55% 100=100% 9=90% 09=09% )

So , this is  the one I remember while writing, also the most used by my 
last Photoshop / Painter students. Only with this list is productive. 
Even if most this one makes not a lot of sense for 100% linux users, 
they are standards and most user know them as playing piano. If I would 
sell piano ; I would not redesign the position of the C , G# and A or I 
would have less customers :-D

Just my thought about :)

( PS :  Yayyy ! Krita won the 'performance' competition between 
Gimp-painter and Mypaint on my new iCore7 : 
http://www.davidrevoy.com/XYZ/2010-10-22_screenshot_001-net.jpg  ; it 
use most of all thread more and less while Gimp painting process and 
Mypaint saturate one core only ... :( ... But that's very 'Pro' from the 
Krita dev , cool !  Is it possible to scale the brush mask more than x 2 
?  )
