Viewing Key Assignments

The keys in the keyboard diagram below are color-coded to indicate the following:

White: no command has been assigned to this key.
Beige: a command from another editor or tool has been assigned to this key.
Light Brown: a command from the currently selected editor or tool has been assigned to this key.
Red: this key corresponds to the currently selected item in the Command box.
