- | All editing actions have a //keybinding// associated with them. A keybinding is triggered by pressing a series of key combinations on the keyboard. For example, the gEDA documentation can be displayed using the keybinding **<H M>**: type the **<H>** key, followed by the **<M>** key. | + | All editing actions have a //keybinding// associated with them.

The "Hotkeys" window (accessible using **Help→Hotkeys**) displays all of the current keybindings and the actions they are bound to. The keybindings can easily be altered using the configuration files.
