Keeping track of (remembering) shortcuts is difficult if you don't use them frequently. Recalling them is easy, though, with a reference "Book" on the "Home" page.
Here's the text of "Shortcuts.txt", a file to put in the "Documents" folder of the Kindle 2. It summarizes the shortcuts I've found, and is accessed easily from the "Home" page.
Enjoy,
Dave

1) make a folder called "pictures" in Kindle root drive.
2) put pictures into a sub-folder inside that folder.
The sub-folder name will be used as the "book" name in Home.
3) in Home screen, press Alt-Z. A new "book" should appear.
Open it to view pictures - next page goes to next picture.
Supported formats are jpg, png, gif. After experimenting,
I found that 600x800 jpg BW images with more than average
contrast and more than average sharpening gave the best
viewing on my K2.
