Lightbulb Keyboard shortcuts

This may be elsewhere on the forum, if so I could not find it. Just thought I'd share the keyboard shortcuts that I have found. I use a USB keyboard branded for the Asus Eee PC. It's just the right size, about 12" long. I have been used to using keyboard short cut keys in Windows for many functions and quickly discovered that they didn't work with Android.
However, through experimenting I have found the following shortcut keys.

--End key = Rotate LCD screen (also, F4 key does the same).

--Home key = Same as the physical Home key next to the trackball. Short press takes you back to the Main screen (desktop if in Windows) and a long press brings up a list of running apps.

--ESC key = Back one screen

--The Windows key = (this is cool) If you have a shortcut icon on your main screen (desktop) and the text under the icon is longer than the width of the icon, pressing the Windows key makes the text scroll marquee-style so you can read it!

--F1 key = functions same as physical Menu key

--F3 key = Contacts

--F9 key = Volume decrease

--F10 key = Volume increase

--Tab key = Search Google

--Press Shift key twice = Caps Lock

These all work as described on MY keyboard. I'd like to hear whether or not your keyboard produces the same responses.
