Karl has added a nice help book to cover command key usage. We'll need to remember
to keep this tutorial page up to date if command key assignments are changed.

Also note that Senders/Implementors of it will find the outermost keyword selector in a large selection, as when you have selected a bracketed expression or an entire line.  Finally note that the same cmd-m and cmd-n (and cmd-v for versions) work in the message pane of most browsers.
