Platform - Keyboard shortcuts has more global keyboard shortcuts.  One thing to remember, most of these shortcuts need to be combined with the ESC key.  In Windows, you can use CTRL+P to print something.  In X3, you can use ESC+CTRL+P to pull up the print record screen.  Above, I told you you can use ESC+J to go to the previous record.  You can also use ESC+Shift+J to go to the first record.
