- Keybindings are combinations of keystrokes which tell an application to
- run a task. These can greatly speed-up the user's interactions
- with an application. Some of the most common ones are
- <keycombo>
- <keycap>Ctrl</keycap>
- <keycap>s</keycap>
- </keycombo>
- to save a file or
- <keycombo>
- <keycap>Ctrl</keycap>
- <keycap>q</keycap>
- </keycombo>
- to quit the application. <application>Gnumeric</application> also
- comes with keybindings to make your spreadsheet experience faster.

- Normally, keybindings are next to a command in a menu. For
- example, if
- <menuchoice>
- <guimenuitem>Save</guimenuitem>
- </menuchoice>
- has
- <keycombo>
- <keycap>Ctrl</keycap>
- <keycap>s</keycap>
- </keycombo>
- next to it, that means that
- <keycombo>
- <keycap>Ctrl</keycap>
- <keycap>s</keycap>
- </keycombo>
- can be typed at the same time to save your file. However, some
- keystrokes aren't listed in the menus. They are as follows:
