Those shortcuts should be documented in the debian-installer manual, i suppose, and also inside th GTK frontend itself. A so much long list of shortcuts would not easily fit inside the GTK frontend's main screen, so it was proposed [1] that a button should be added to the GTK frontend. When the button is clicked a small modal popup window should appear, listing all available shortcuts for the GTK frontend. This will require adding a "debconf/gtk_shortcuts_button" string to debconf's database to contain the button's label and a "debconf/gtk_shortcuts_help" to contain the multiline text that has to be displayed inside the popup window. I think the abilty to take screenshots is what it's most worth documenting the GTK frontend's shortcuts: this could help a lot in reporting issues related to bad rendering of complex / non latin fonts.
