-Sometimes, keybindings include //modifier keys//.

-If you type a key combination,​ it will be briefly displayed in the status bar, unless it forms the start of a multi-stroke keybinding, in which case it will be displayed in the status bar until you press another key. For example, if you press **<H>**, the letter "​H"​ will appear in the status bar.  If you then press **<M>** to display the manual, the status bar will briefly show "H M" and then go blank.+If you type a key combination,​ it will be briefly displayed in the status bar, unless it forms the start of a multi-stroke keybinding, in which case it will be displayed in the status bar until you press another key.

 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. ​ For more information,​ see [[geda:​gschem_ug:​config|Configuring gschem]]. The "​Hotkeys"​ window (accessible using **Help→Hotkeys**) displays all of the current keybindings and the actions they are bound to.
