+        One can define it's own keybindings within the 'Keys' configuration

+        To define new keybindings, first highlight the action to which it will
+        apply. Then, delete the actual key binding if necessary, and add a new

+        binding. It is possible to define more than one key binding for a single
+        action.</p>

+        An automatic check is performed to see if the new key binding
+        is not already set for another action. In that case, you will be asked
