8.11. Tastenkürzel

Much of the functionality of darktable can be accessed via shortcuts using the keyboard or keyboard/mouse combinations. These shortcuts are user-configurable via the shortcuts tab of the preferences dialog. Many of the key shortcuts are provided with default values but most must be configured by the user. Any key may be used for a keyboard shortcut, and may be modified with one or more of Shift, Ctrl or Alt.
