True.

Lazarus has several key mapping schemes. See options / Key Mappings.

There is no "Delphi" scheme, because that would only work under
Windows and even then some functions are missing or work differently.
In other words, calling a key mapping "Delphi" is an invitation for bug
reports.
Maybe a mode "almost like Delphi (Windows)" could be
added.

I like Graeme's idea of a one/two page short cut view with common keys.
