Mostly commands that are "hidden" you probably won't want to use - there
are better, less tricky commands to do what they do (they are there
because they generate more readable LilyPond syntax for the
knowledgeable, or for backward compatibility of older scripted commands
or other reasons). 
At the moment I don't think there are any hidden commands just to save
space in the menus - ask about any commands that you think you need to
un-hide.

On windows this is usually stolen by microsoft (people even manufacture
keyboards with microsoft's logo on the key!), you may be able to get it
back using some utility for re-mapping keys. Otherwise use some other
combination (e.g. Ctrl-Alt or Ctrl-Shift ... or try other unused keys).

That's very interesting - can you try having the Print View window open
but turning off the continuous typesetting? (There is a button at the
top of the Print View window which says Continuous and need to be
clicked and the Continuous checkbox unchecked).
Does it crash in this circumstance?

You're welcome - but please reply to the list, as others will want to
know this information! (There is usually a "Group Reply" or "Reply to
All" option in the reply menu of your email client).
