PS, AI and ID CS5 Cheat Sheets

cheat sheetsKnowing the shortcut of a program is what makes the difference between an amateur and a professional user. When you use a software so much you simply need to shorten some annoying and mechanic passages using keyboard combinations instead of mouse clicks.
When a man with a .45 meets a man with a rifle, the man with a pistol will be a dead man.[A Fistful of Dollars]
The same cited sentence can be modified and applied in the following way:
When a man with a mouse meets a man with a keyboard, the man with a mouse will be a dead man.
That's why looking for training materials you can find many cheat sheets written to help in learning Adobe Creative Suite programs' shortcuts.
About one year ago, in my post titled Best Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator, QuarkXPress Cheatsheet for Designers I've posted a list of useful cheat sheets.
I'd like to add to that list an updated dedicated to the CS5 version of Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign.
