<title>Gnumeric Keybindings</title>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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:
