The Ultimate List of Cheat Sheets for a Developer / Designer!!!

I am always looking at good ways to remember a ton of knowledge on a ton of stuff without having my doctorate in everything digital. I get a ton of iChat messages and emails on the command, or code, or shortcut for one thing or another. I learn a lot of my short cuts from Layers TV and Photoshop User TV. They are always trying to teach the audience something new. But the only problem is they say it going through a tutorial and I am paying more attention to the tutorial than the shortcut. Later I sit and go…Uhh what was that short cut again????? So I started compiling bookmarks for cheat sheets on short cuts and commands. I have compiled almost 1000 bookmarks on everything I do. It blows my mind but I have a way to organize them I can find anything almost instantly and with the new Safari 4 its gotten even better. So I figure I would let you guys in on my super list of cheat sheets for the designer like me.

Please make sure to Digg (and so on)! Comments on adding, changing, and removing links are always welcome. Make sure to bookmark and check back often as I will always be updating it. Enjoy.
