It is now:

https://git.purrdata.net/jwilkes/purr-data/merge_requests/274

That adds a new pd_shortcuts.js with a JSON that collects all the shortcuts in
a single place. On Linux it's located in /usr/lib/pd-l2ork/bin.

I'm reluctant to create a GUI for that, though. It requires a restart of Pd to
work, and all the shortcuts are based on the nw.js API which isn't ideal.

I'd much rather standardize on the HTML5 keyboard API that lets the user
specify which physical key they want for a shortcut. That would solve all kinds
of compatibility problems, but it requires a bump of the nw.js GUI
toolkit version.
And bumping that version will end support for Windows XP and whatever
ancient and dangerous versions of OSX poor music students are still using.
