Back to to Table of Contents

This appendix gives an overview, how general concepts are reflected by various THE commands, settings, key bindings etc.

Topics:

Notation for keys: C- control modifier, A- Alt modifier, S- shift modifier, X- either A- or C- modifier (depending on operating system)

Note on set commands and functions: functions, which can refer to status infos which can be modified directly with set are not mentioned explicitly.
