Please note the IDE shortcuts might work on earlier versions of Delphi. Correct the list if you find shortcuts working in earlier versions.

You can add your own shortcuts with a free tool called AutoHotKey, see there for some ideas.

Some ancient shortcuts some of which are still working, can be found here

For recent versions, Embarcadero has documented the default keyboard shortcuts in their DocWiki.
