I have looked the list - but IMO there is nothing as good as the Folder related FAQ's e.g - Folder Formats: Detailed Guide
I do everything from the keyboard - so what I wanted was Ctrl/M... but that only works when Properties menu on the Operations Tool is displayed,
I appreciate I can copy buttons,but I don't want a button to click, what I want is a hotkey to press
I've been 'assuming' that hotkeys were 'universal' - I only just realised that if a button has a hotkey defined for it then that hotkey wont work or appear in the hotkey list if the button is not available from a visible toolbar - no wonder I've been confused 
Is there a setting to make toolbar button hotkeys always available ?
@steje - the Lister Configuration drop down has a button for the metadata pane which has F9 as a toggle
The Edit Metadata dialogue box from Properties does not track the current item selected, its not in the main Tab Order and I have to use Alt/F4 to get rid of it - so its a poor substitute for the metadata pane
