Please help me acclimate to newer Blender.

Hiya!
I've been working in Blender for, gosh, over 7 years now. I am extremely fast and efficient working in the older UI. Knowing most if the tricks, hotkeys and workarounds.
I installed 2.6 yesterday and poked at it for an hour or so. I had to google or dig thru the blender site for soo many simple things I gave up and went back to my trusty 2.49.
That said, I do like the new UI layout and the node texturing stuff looks awesome.
Does anyone know of a site that lists the differences? Especially the hotkeys. I'm a hotkeyer, and rarely use the menu UI buttons. It's one of the things that makes me efficient.
Or.. Is there a way to set up new blender to use the old hotkey arrangement?
And any other tips that will help me transition would be über helpful!

Thanks Bunches in advance!
Ali

In 2.6, pressing space brings up a search menu. When you type something, you get a list of available commands related to what you typed in. I believe - I don't have Blender at hand atm, so I don't quite remember -  this list contains not only the commands, but also the keyboard shortcut for the command.

Wow! Thankyou! How did I miss that? I knew the spacebars old functionality had moved to Shift A, but had not hit the spacebar yet. I can't wait to get home and try it now. Sounds like just the tool I need.

 

Thanks muchly!
