This excerpt is from Mac OS X: Missing Manual Leopard.

Filled with step-by-step tutorials that will have you creating detailed 3-D objects quickly, Google SketchUp: The Missing Manual offers crystal-clear instructions for using every feature. You'll learn to use the basic tools, build and animate models, and place objects in Google Earth, with lots of real-world examples to show you how it's done.

Note

You can find another huge list of keystrokes in the discussion of VoiceOver, Leopard's screen-control feature, on the section called “The VoiceOver Master Keyboard List”. For the most part, the following list doesn't include the keystrokes that are already listed in your menus, either—like ⌘-P for Print, ⌘-S for Save, and so on.
