There are numerous key combinations that can be considered as being part of an unofficial (as far as I know) standard. But is there a list of such combinations somewhere? Some examples:

F1 - Help
F3 - Show next match (when searching with Ctrl + F)
F5 - Refresh
Ctrl + Tab - Switch tab
Ctrl + Number - Choose tab
Ctrl + F - Find
Ctrl + P - Print
Ctrl + Left/Right arrow - switch to next space or delimiter when in text edit mode

etc...

    Remember that standards can vary by locale. In US English Ctrl+B is a standard Bold shortcut in tools like Microsoft Word, however in French for instance it's mapped to Ctrl+G for caractère Gras...

  • ... and Ctrl+Shift+F in German for Fett (so not even the same number keys).

There's not any official standard I know of. The following link looks pretty comprehensive as far as listing existing applications.
