Don't ask for a text file. Think big.
A documentation file will soon be outdated (and false documentation is
worse than none).

I'd ask for introspection. The way to get the most accurate 
description is to ask the system. 
Do we have a way to query applications for the keybindings they 
support?

        cheers,
                Jw.

PS: I am afraid that compiling a list of all desktop default bindings is
non-trivial, as keystrokes pass through numerous software layers, and
mappings and bindings can happen at any level.
