CTRL+K will list all of the key combinations. If you're using a Windows terminal emulator you'll need to set it up so that it passes function keys on to the host instead of interpreting them as Windows commands since sqldba relies heavily on them. Also you need to make sure the numeric keypad keys are passing the VT100 escape codes to the host, not just the numbers themselves.
Basics are:
Keypad-0 activate menus Keypad-3 rotate windows PF3 (i.e. F3) execute (same as "OK" button) PF4 close window
See CTRL+K for the rest.
