How can I see what each key does in PyCharm?

I'm looking for something like "M-x describe-key" in emacs.

I see Help > Default Keymap Reference and Settings > Keymap but both of these are grouped and sorted by topic. I want something grouped and sorted by key.

The obvious answer of just pressing the key isn't always helpful. For example, when I press F11, I get a little checkbox in the gutter, but there's no tooltip and I have no idea what it might signify.

I'll happily upvote the answer to that particular question, but I'm really looking for a live reference. I guess if there isn't one, I'll probably take a stab at parsing the config file myself, but I'm hoping someone already has an answer.

In Pycharm 1.2.1 you can go to Settings > Keymap and enter a shortcut filter:

Here you can enter up to 2 keys and get the resulting action.

It is still not grouped and sorted by key but at least you get an explanation for that particular key.

Looking through the jetbrains website I found this:

Official shortcut reference

Its a bit complex but there is almost everything on there you might need. I know I have a simpler version downloaded on my computer somewhere at home, ill check on it and post it here later.
