Description
If you hit ? or / when the cursor is locked to bring up the keyboard shortcut list, it only shows you the first page of shortcuts. There is no easy way to scroll the list to see the others, nor is there a scrollbar visible to tell you that you need to show. As a result, many users miss the existence of a second page of content.
We should make it all fit on one page (multiple columns?), or alternatively unlock the cursor when displaying the shortcut list.

The issue is resolved when users can access all shortcut pages without missing the additional content, either by fitting the list on one page or unlocking the cursor while it is displayed.
