I realized there is not in the documentation a list of the menus and associated key commands I became interested in seeing a list, for example, of available keyboard commands sorted by key... So I made one, and I will post the results here in case anyone else finds it useful.
If you're curious how I did this without endless typing, I took screen captures of all the menus with Snag-It, which has a capture mode especially for menus, and OCR'd the results with OmniPagePro. That gave me 80% of the text, anyway.
I put the result in an Excel spreadsheet to allow sorting. If anyone would like the list in that format, or in HTML, you can email me.
The first reply will be the menu list and the second reply will be the key commands sorted by key.

> a keyboard list is included in the "official" help file
Really? I looked through all the help files, FAQs, etc. There is a section in the CHM called Keyboard Shortcuts - is that what you mean? If so it's not nearly complete, and doesn't relate keys to commands... have I missed a more complete list somewhere?
> never heard a program that can extract text out of menus
OmniPage is an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) program; it will work on input from an image file as well as from a scanner (which is image data, after all)

Wow! How about devoting just a fraction of that energy to creating a laundry list of specs from these forum pages?
BTW, that's exactly how I created the help table! The only difference is I used a freeware called MWSnap, which ALSO has the capability to snap menus (one of the best apps around, actually).
I then reversed the layout, because no one will look for help in alphabetical sequance of buttons.
About missing data- yes, we have the completed version, but we also need professionally qualified volunteers to make that cursed CHM!
BTW, the Lookup Table just below the Keyboard Shortcuts table gives the solution for day-to-day needs of most users.

@Nikos: an OCR program is required here: one can't just snatch text from the menus directly.

Use the Source, Luke!
Really the way I would to this is to start with the resource file, perhaps processing it with a Perl script to get text in the format I want. (I could do that if I had specifications...)
