Hi dbm999-ga !
Here is some information I have found on the way shortcuts are
represented in Linux. I have included pages that list Linux keyboard
shortcuts, show screen shots of the shortcut commands in the menu's of
various Linux applications, and a page or two that lists compare the
different abbreviated shortcuts for Linux, Windows and Mac's.
If you have any questions about the information that I have provided,
feel free to request a clarification of my answer. Please do allow me
enough time to respond before you rate the answer.
Thanks so much!

“Terminal emulator. The terminal emulator (Konsole) can now bookmark
commands which start a new shell, such as ssh://user@host.org. It also
displays an information dialog now when the user presses Ctrl-s, as
some users do not realize this action can activate scroll locking. The
emulator's copy-to-clipboard behavior has been modified to conform to
the KDE standard (now one must select the Copy entry in the Edit menu
to copy to the secondary "Windows" clipboard, while highlighting
continues to copy to the primary "X11" clipboard)”

“ File: New Window C-n, Open New C-o, Load File C-l, Insert File
C-i,
Revert to Saved, Save C-s, Save as, Write selection C-w, Print C-p,
Close, Quit
Edit:Undo C-u Redo C-r . Also the following functions are
available,
but not (???) on the menu: Cut: C-x , Paste C-v, Copy C-c Search:Go
to line F1 , Search String F2, Search Next F3,
Search Previous F4,Replace F5
OPtions Medium Font, Large FOnt, Small Font, Auto Indent, Customize
-
{ Initial Wdith, Initial Height, Tab size, Auto-indent }
Note that this is also missing the word-wrap feature. Also, the
basic
cut/copy/paste functions aren't listed in the edit menu, though
this
may be easy to fix. Otherwise, it's quite a nice editor. medit”

One persons opinion on Linux
“All of the Gnome and KDE user-interfaces I've seen so far are simply
cheap imitations of already bad Windows GUIs with all of their
non-intuitiveness, modal user interaction, inconsistent menu shortcuts
and naming...”

Keyboard shortcuts on Linux now use Ctrl instead of Alt as the
modifier key, while Alt is used for menu shortcuts. If you wish to
modify these shortcut keys, add the following prefs (instructions
here: http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.2.1/#prefs)
“GNU Emacs uses an extension of the ASCII character set for keyboard
input; it also accepts non-character input events including function
keys and mouse button actions.

GNU Emacs Manual
ASCII consists of 128 character codes. Some of these codes are
assigned graphic symbols such as `a' and `='; the rest are control
characters, such as Control-a (usually written C-a for short). C-a
gets its name from the fact that you type it by holding down the CTRL
i key while pressing a.”

“Menus will often have combinations of keys that can be used as a
shortcut. These keyboard shortcuts will usually appear to the right
within the menu itself as a reminder. The associated keyboard shortcut
is usually a combination of keys beginning with Control or Alt.
Pressing the specified key combinations has the same result as
choosing the menu item. For example, if the Edit menu has a Cut choice
with a keyboard shortcut of Ctl+X then holding down the Control key
while you type the X key has the same effect as choosing the Cut menu
item. “
“Many shortcuts are in common usage amongst GNOME applications and
will be familiar to users of the Win32 OS “

“Many developers adopt the traditional UNIX editors: vi or Emacs. Both
are available in Windows versions and both have highly partisan
adherents. The Control-key shortcuts, which conflict with those of
standard business applications (and especially Microsoft Word), pushed
me away from Emacs. The conflicts make it hard to go back and forth
between text editing and writing project documents in a word
processor. “
