Welcome to Emacs.  Start with `C-h C-h'.  Learn its many corners.
There you will see, near the top (2nd line in the menu):

b           Display all key bindings.

`i' is your friend in Info.  (Or menubar Info, submenu Index.)

Again, for best use of Info (reading manuals), start at the beginning:
the Info manual, not the Emacs manual.
