I’m the kind developer who loves shortcuts. I think it makes me more productive. As a fervent user of ReSharper I learned a lot of new shortcuts by forcing myself to learn at least one shortcut a week. ReSharper provides already for years a nice cheat-sheet with al possible and relevant shortcuts. Now you can get one for the plain vanilla Visual Studio environment too!
Microsoft provides a PDF file which can easily be printed. My advice: download this file, print it and give it a prominent place on your desk!
