This page is a snapshot. Photos changes its menus between versions, and some shortcuts only appear for what's selected. Keysi reads the menus of the Photos you're running: hold ⌘ and every shortcut shows up over the app, and clicking a row runs it.
That part of Keysi is free, with no time limit. For remembering them, see how to learn a Mac app's shortcuts.
