About Google Earth and its shortcuts
Google Earth is navigation in three dimensions, so its keyboard does things a flat map does not: tilting, rotating the view, and moving the camera as well as the position. For anyone exploring terrain, those view controls are the difference between a usable tool and a frustrating one.
Shortivo publishes the Windows list. Earth exists as a web version and as a desktop application and they differ, and some commands need the three-dimensional view rather than the top-down one.
