Hi all , I want to know all the keywords in .proto file, Is there a keyword list about this ?

There's a protobuf-grammar repo with an open PR for a context-free grammar. You could probably use that to get a list of keywords.

You can find it here: https://github.com/ObsidianMinor/protobuf-grammar/blob/0bc288b63405bad84202be670b03d169a148fdee/spec/grammar.ebnf

Depends what you are talking about? As in a descriptor view of the .proto file?

v2: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/reference/proto2-spec

v3: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/reference/proto3-spec

You can integrate with the `protoc´ compiler, but it has some limitations, i.e. around target language support for v2 and v3 for instance. Or roll your own parser as needs be as we did, for a v2 specific definition.
