Here are all the blending mode shortcuts.......

SaturationShift + Alt + T (Win) / Shift + Option + T (Mac)
ColorShift + Alt + C (Win) / Shift + Option + C (Mac)
LuminosityShift + Alt + Y (Win) / Shift + Option + Y (Mac)


If you select a layer with ANY TOOL that does not have a MODE function in the tool, you can hold down the SHIFT key and hit the (plus) + or (minus) - keys to scroll through the the LAYER blending modes.

I the the tool has a MODE function in the tool itself, holding the SHIFT key and hitting the (plus) + or (minus) - keys to scroll through the the TOOLS blending modes.

Thanks, Sam. At least for me, I find that having a cheat sheet like yours (eg, that I can leave taped to my wall) is a lot more useful in the long run than watching a video.
