[NOTE: You've ended up in a list intended to be referenced in conjunction with this hands-on look at the Apple's new Lion OS.]
There's a host of Trackpad gestures inside Apple's [AAPL] Mac OS X Lion. These are all described within Lion's Trackpad prefs inside System Preferences. Sometimes you might just need a list. For those times, why not Bookmark this page, or print it out while you learn? You can get a list of Lion OS keyboard shortcuts here.
