displaying playerprefs
How can I display all the strings (names of stuff) stored/saved in the playerprefs? Can you please provide a Javascript example to explain. Thanks

There is no way to get the keys. The idea is that in your game you know what key-value pairs you write to the PlayerPreferences, so you know the keys. Think of this as exactly like the words in the Oxford English Dictionary. There is no list of words, it's assumed if you want to know what a word means you'll look it up.
Assuming you know the keys, then to get the values, you just call PlayerPrefs.GetString for each one.
I don't have a clue what keys your talking about please explain. Thank you.
I was in your shoes not that long ago. When you save something to PlayerPrefs, you have two values: the key or index that you name and the variable you are passing in for the value. So if you were saving the player's name, it would be- PlayerPrefs.SetString("Name:",_playerName); Name, in this case is the key and whatever was typed in for the name is what will be saved.
Likewise, when you go to retrieve it- PlayerPrefs.GetString("Name:", _playerName);
Hope that helps.
Sorry, but that is a bogus reasoning. The concept of a printed and technical dictionary is that the user can open the book and then sees all words (~keys) printed bold and in alphabetical order with associated explanations (~values). He/she can then look up a specific one or browse through the pages and see what's there.
