Please don't mix icons and tooltips/shortcuts - think also about
localization, for example on non-latin keyboards/languages. One good
example is the famous B-I-U buttons (bold, italic, underline) which many
applications use "as-is" but with corresponding effect on each button. A
non English person may have to rely on the (often faint) visual effect to
realize the function of such a button, because their language uses a
totally different wording.
Some icon-themes (ex: in OOo/LibreOffice) use A-A-A with corresponding
effect on those buttons, this is much more "neutral" for many localized
interfaces.

Some games I've seen have a dedicated F-button for showing keyboard
shortcuts, maybe that could be handy?

Just thoughts,
