Does one exist for SL? It took me a long time to learn things like how to right-click in the SL world (it isn't the same as the way I do it in other mac programs) and I'm just sure there is still more to learn.

Also, I have a LOT of trouble with camera angles. Sometimes/randomly I will be really zoomed in or out and can't focus. :(

Thanks all! So glad I found you.

Cheat codes for SL

I don't know of any hidden cheat codes but what I do is use the keyboard short cuts.
I also assign gestures to my F function keys.
You may know that any folder when open up can have a color, or an image of your choice as the background. I made a image (using Graphic Converter) and made a 800x600 Teal image then typed the shortcuts in the bottom half. Then saved it as a .jpg. Created a SL folder and in Show View Options picked that image I created. You now have your Shortcuts and any document you need in that folder.

Basic Keyboard Shortcuts

ENTER Chat
CMD - H Chat History
CMD-Shift-F Friends
ESC Reset View
M Mouse (1st person) view
CMD - R Run
Home Fly
CMD - P Preferences
CMD - G Gestures List
/ Start Gesture
CMD-Shift-H Teleport Home

On keyboard shortcuts, I noticed that on the Mac you can also use the CTRL key in addition to the Command key. So for example CTRL R and CMD R do the same thing (run mode). Great for those of us who also use PC's and got used to the CTRL key.
