(N) I pressed CTRL to stop speech there. The Virtual Viewer opens. JAWS announces there are some JAWS Hot Keys for general use. You may stop JAWS from reading by pressing CTRL, as I did. Otherwise, it reads the entire contents of the Virtual Viewer. You'll notice these commands are all generic. They're not tied to a specific app because focus was on the Desktop when you pressed this command. You get a generic list of possible JAWS Hot Keys.

(N) I pressed CTRL to stop speech. These commands are specific to JAWS and web browsers. Hot Key Help works in the same way in that the list of commands that you get is dependent on which app is in focus. If focus is on the desktop, or if focus is in an app where there are no specific JAWS commands, then you get a generic list. Go ahead and press ESC now to close the Virtual Viewer.
