- KEYBOARD COMMANDS SUMMARY
-
- All interaction with NFTP is keyboard-based; there's no mouse support (and I
- am not going to implement it -- at least now). This approach is somewhat
- tough for novice user, but after some learning it gives the best results in
- terms of usability and interaction speed. Here is the list of keystrokes
- ("hot keys"); it's divided into several sections each pertaining to specific
- mode of operation or action classification.
