The !s are abbrevations for <esc> or Escape key.  By typing <esc> f g, in your
example above, magical things happen.  I often live by these keyboard shortcuts.

In your FrameMaker Reference Manual, Appendix A lists Frame's keyboard shortcuts.
As you'll see, there are ! shortcuts, meta shortcuts, Control...... you get the idea.
You can can also create your own macros, which I find most helpful.

Hope this helps.
