Add a cheat codes section to the printable and in-game shortcut references.

And, package the chart (A4, LTR), now that you're an official team member, in the official distribution, of course!

Next, put Start Menu links to this forum in the installer, as well as to all the documentation files.

It's also in the manual, so I felt like that would be better served by just being released as part of the manual since the graphic is now part of the game also.  I'll be curious what others think, but basically once I put something in the Start Menu it is hard to later take it back out, so I don't want to add too much that is redundant.

Well, I think the manual and the quick reference should be two different documents, even if the one is included as a few pages in the other (although they don't need to be). I'd probably never print a manual, but I'd definitely print a one or two page quick reference.

I always appreciate the publishers who give a "quick reference card" or "keyboard reference card" in addition to putting it on the inside or outside cover of the manual (or even, in lieu of in the manual).

Me too, actually.  These are excellent points, I don't know why I did not think of that.  We'll have to be sure to include the reference card separately.
