I've just discovered a GREAT feature in Illustrator CS3. It's called Knowhow and can be found in Window->Adobe Labs (together with Kuler, Adobe's great color palettes sharing tool by the way)
Knowhow detects the current tool and shows all available options. It's a GREAT way to learn about shortcuts, since Illustrator has loads of them. Look at the screenshot below to get it.
Furthermore, and thanks to del.icio.us, you can also automatically search the web for tips on the current tool! Head to NDesign's website for more info.
That's a great idea and step forward for a software! I really hope more companies will go into this direction.

A similar feature exist in CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT X3. It's called the Hints dockers :-)
Also with on-line links on user-contributed tutorials? :-)
