     14=== Basic usage ===
     15* Open "Keyboard shortcuts"
     16* find an item or optionally type words to filter it
     17* Uncheck "Use default"
     18* Adjust modifiers (if you need them at all)
     19* Find correct button in "Key" (some items here may not be found at your keyboard e.g. F13-F24)

     21=== Shortcuts power tips ===
     22* Avoid shortcuts that force you to move hands from their "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touch_typing home position]" (Delete, Insert, Backspace, numeric keyboard and possibly arrows)
     23* In fact, you don't need many of default shortcuts
     24* If you never use some tool near your "home position", it is better to rebind it to a more frequent tool
     25* There many strategies about "home positions": single hand and two hand editing - so layout may differ significantly whatever you using mouse+keyboard or only keyboard (to edit tags / review history or notes)
     26* You can have multiple configs per every task you make and simply switch between them
