I decided to do this tonight. I've tried my best to get them all. If I missed anything, just let me know; I'll be happy to add it without crediting you.
Navigation
Up/down arrows: Scrolls through the editor. Holding Tab will speed this up greatly. Holding Shift will select whatever you scroll through.
Page up/Page down: Scrolls through the editor one measure at a time. Holding Tab will speed this up greatly. Holding Shift will select whatever you scroll through.
Home/End: Scrolls to the first measure or the furthest arrow you've placed in the editor. Holding Tab will speed this up a little.
Spacebar: Places a marker. Pressing the spacebar a second time will create a selection between the marker and your current position (so if you press the spacebar at the top of measure 1 and then scroll to the top of measure 3 and press it again, it will select all of measure 1 and 2).
Placing arrows
1: Places a left arrow at your current position of the music. Holding Shift will place a mine.
2: Places a down arrow at your current position of the music. Holding Shift will place a mine.
3: Places an up arrow at your current position of the music. Holding Shift will place a mine.
4: Places a right arrow at your current position of the music. Holding Shift will place a mine.
Alt+1: Places an up arrow at your current position of the music. Don't ask me why. Holding Shift will still place a mine.
Alt+2: Places a right arrow at your current position of the music. Don't ask me why. Holding Shift will still place a mine.
Left/right arrows: Snaps to a different musical timing.
Ctrl+R: This goes into Record mode. In Record mode, you use the arrow keys, not the number keys, to put down arrows to the music. Record mode starts with a pre-roll of one measure before the area you have selected, and will only record into the selected area (if you have nothing selected, you cannot start Record mode). You cannot change your timing snap in Record mode.
Syncing
F7: Decreases the BPM by .02. Holding Alt will make a change of .01.
F8: Increases the BPM by .02. Holding Alt will make a change of .01.
F9: Decreases the amount of time the stepfile stops before moving on by .02 seconds. Holding Alt will make a change of 0.005.
F10: Increases the amount of time the stepfile stops before moving on by .02 seconds. Holding Alt will make a change of 0.005.
F11: Decreases the offset of beat 0 by .02 seconds. Holding Alt will make a change of .001.
F12: Increases the offset of beat 0 by .02 seconds. Holding Alt will make a change of .001.
With a 0 offset, the very first second of the music file will start right on measure 1. Decreasing the offset causes the music to start sooner than measure 1 (useful if you want to skip something in the beginning), and increasing the offset causes it to wait before playing the first second (it will play it further into the stepfile, like measure 2, etc).
Insert: Inserts one beat (one fourth of a measure) and moves all the arrows down. BPM changes and stops stay where they are.
Delete: Deletes one beat (one fourth of a measure) and moves all the arrows up. BPM changes and stops stay where they are.
Ctrl+Insert: Moves all BPM changes and stops down one beat (one fourth of a measure). Arrows stay where they are.
Ctrl+Delete: Moves all BPM changes and stops up one beat (one fourth of a measure). Arrows stay where they are.
P: This plays whatever you have selected of your stepfile in the editor. It begins one measure before the selection and ends one measure afterwards (if you have measure 14 selected, it will start from measure 13 and play through measure 15, unless you hit Esc to cancel). Pressing F8 while it's playing will toggle Autoplay.
Shift+P: This plays your stepfile in the editor starting one measure before your current position (if you are at the top of measure 14, it will start playing from the top of measure 13 all the way until the end, or until you hit Esc to cancel). Pressing F8 while it's playing will toggle Autoplay.
Ctrl+P: This plays your stepfile in the editor starting from the beginning to the end (unless you hit Esc to cancel), with a pre-roll of one measure (basically, it starts at Beat 0). Pressing F8 while it's playing will toggle Autoplay.
F4: Toggles the Assist Tick. This plays a clapping sound at the exact time an arrow meets the receptor arrow (absolute Marvelous timing), but be warned that the assist tick sound has .052 seconds of silence at its beginning.
Miscellaneous commands
[: This decreases the music Preview Start by .02 seconds.
]: This increases the music Preview Start by .02 seconds.
Shift+[: This decreases the music Preview Length by .02 seconds.
Shift+]: This increases the music Preview Length by .02 seconds.
M: Plays your preview of the music.
Ctrl+Up/down: Changes the zoom of the editor. Zooming in once (with Ctrl+down) shows dashed 8th note lines, zooming in twice shows dotted 16th note lines. You can also space the editor out by choosing a different XMOD in the Player Options menu.
F2: Reloads metrics and textures. Useful if you've changed them while in the editor and don't want to reload Stepmania entirely.
F5/F6: Switches back and forth between different difficulties.
Menus
Esc: Opens the Main Menu.
Enter: Opens the Area Menu.
F1: Displays a list of Keyboard Shortcuts.
B: Opens up the Background Change menu.
C: Opens the Course Display menu. It has one option that is seemingly always OFF (you probably have to have courses or something?), so don't ask me what it does.
Also, if you want a menu tutorial thingy, that's a whole other deal. This should be good for the people who don't really know how to use the Stepmania editor too well, and want to learn how to get some arrows down in the very least.
