\chapter{Shortcuts}%
\label{cha:shortcuts}
+\index{shortcuts}
In \CGGI{} a lot of shortcuts are defined for various operations.
Although it is quite possible to do everything with the mouse, the extensive
requirements of some special window manager's support.
Here the shortcuts are listed organized by window and type. Some specific alternatives are listed in~\ref{ssub:key_alternatives} in the "Key Alternatives" paragraph. Any reference to
-Alt or Ctrl always refers to the left one on the keyboard.
+Alt or Ctrl always refers to the left one on the keyboard. In addition to this
+manual, you can view the shortcuts in html format via the \textit{shell cmds} icon
+on the top, right corner of the main program window. There is also a \textbf{hotkey
+Alt/h}, that can be used just about anywhere to get help on a specific window, menu,
+item, tooltip, button, and other elements (see \ref{sec:help_context_help}).

+\section{Alternative Shortcuts }%
+\label{sec:alternative_shortcuts}
+\index{shortcuts!alternative}
+
+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+example \texttt{Shift-s}, have been replaced by the '+' character.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.
