Notes
In the key configs screen, the icon with 12 little grey dots denotes a key command that was "Learned by Key Position" |
In the key config screen, a command with a bullet symbol in front indicates that command is available via keystroke only (not in menus). |
"Enter" and "Return" are not the same thing! "Enter" = Fn+Return |

Still a WIP. I have a habit of forgetting some of these, so thought making a cheatsheet would help reinforce my memory. Feel free to suggest any changes/updates.
Should I change all of the "Alt"'s to "Option"s? "Alt" takes up less space...
Great Cheet Sheet! Very Helpful and compact!
Just what the doctor ordered.
