Guildwatch Wednesday--A Photo's Worth 1,000 Words
I grabbed this photo from Mike's column as it pretty much speaks for itself.
http://www.wow.com/2009/07/08/guildwatch-dodge-this/
This week's Guildwatch is full of guilds using exploits to cheat their way through instances and getting caught. Fortunately Joelol has enlivened the drama this week by stealing his guild's bank contents. His brother turns up on the guild's forum later on, apologizes and states that Joelol will have to find someone else to pay his monthly fee. Piss off your guildmates, steal everything that's not nailed down, but don't aggravate the big brother who pays for your WOW time!
I can't summarize this story any better than Mike Schramm, the regular Guild Watch columnist does here, "This recruiting thread for Grief on Whisperwind devolves super fast, especially when accusations of previous ninja'ing on OS25 shows up. But Janefonda takes it to a Jerry Springer level when she starts talking about her "boob card." Also, points to Aybebe for trying to play off his nonsense as "roleplay[ing] a bad guy on the server." Especially since a) it's not a roleplaying server, and b) ninja'ing gear is grounds for a suspension, not roleplay material, buddy."
There's lots more recruiting and instance-downing (minus using exploits to do so) but naturally none on the Solo MMO Player's server.

Key Bindings in WOW
WOW has set key bindings. You MAY--and I am not sure about this-- be able to check your own key bindings by typing /kb. Here are some lists.
WOW Wiki has lists under the heading Bindings. Note the Global Function List (second link) which is mentioned here as more complete but undocumented.

It also talks about playing WOW on Macs with a link to the WOW Mac Tech Support forum which WOW Wiki says is very responsive to know issues. See Keyboard Issues.

This article talks about keybinding in general in the game. There's also a macro for raid icon selections on page 3.

Here's a Windows list that has been checked by a dual boxer.
