Shortcuts used in
SuperMemo 2004 |
Please note that some shortcuts may not work in
versions distributed for non-English markets. This is to make sure that the
shortcuts do not interfere with some keyboard functions in national Windows
releases. Some shortcuts may also be turned off with Tools : Options :
SuperMemo : Trim shortcuts. This is due to problems with using some buggy
national keyboard drivers.
If you find errors in this file or
inconsistencies in using shortcuts, please Report.
