+The alternative shortcuts are changed from \CGGI{} default to what most other NLEs use as standard.
+For example:
+
+\texttt{J, K, L} (Play Normal Reverse, Stop, Play Normal Forward) and when pressed twice J and L will Play Fast and then if playing fast and pressed again, will go back to playing normal.
+
+\texttt{I, O} (set/unset InPoint, set/unset OutPoint)
+
+\texttt{A, S} (Jump backward next cut, Jump forward next cut)
+
+To use these alternative shortcuts you must use the appimage found \href{https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/images/CinGG-20230930-alternative_shortcuts.AppImage}{here} -- you may want to go up 1 directory level to get a more recent dated version -- or compile your own \CGG{} with the the patch and the instructions found here: \nameref{sub:notable_options_and_caveats}.
+
+These shortcuts will only display in the English version for the caption/hints and the
+included shortcuts.html file in the "Shell Cmds" of the program does not include them.
+The texts in the menu and the captions of the icons,
+written with the '-' character between the Special key and the key in the default set, for
+example \texttt{Shift-s}, have been replaced by the '+' character. And the
+letters are always in capital letters although \textit{Shift} is not pressed. This notation is
+more consistent in what many, if not all, the other NLE programs use. Some of the original default shortcuts like
+\texttt{BD Render... (Ctrl+Shift+d)} and \texttt{DVD Render... (Alt+d)} have been deleted
+because they are not used frequently. If a shortcut in the After column as shown in the following table has a '+' symbol (for example: \texttt{+ 'I'}),
+it means that it is an additional shortcut added to the old shortcut/s in the Before column
+and also that that shortcut was confiscated from a default \CGGI{} shortcut where it had a different function.
+
+These shortcuts are very useful because the keys more frequently used have
+priority in editing, and are easy to use with the left hand on the keyboard and the right hand on the mouse.

+A common practice in video editing is the ability to jump from one part of the timeline to another: jumping from one \textit{cut} to another or from one \textit{label} to another or even from one \textit{keyframe} to another. Using shortcuts in these cases is even more advantageous. In the next table we summarize these alternative shortcuts of the main jumps.
