    \title Keyboard Shortcuts

    \brief Default keyboard shortcuts.

    \QDS has various keyboard shortcuts that speed up your development process.
    To view all \QDS functions in and their keyboard shortcuts, select
    \preferences > \uicontrol Environment > \uicontrol Keyboard.

    The shortcuts that are displayed in red color are associated with several
    functions. \QDS executes the function that is available in the current
    context. If several functions are available for the same shortcut at a
    time, there is a conflict and \QDS cannot execute any function.

    A keyboard shortcut might also conflict with a shortcut that a window
    manager uses for its own purposes. In that case, \QDS shortcuts do not work.
    Typically, you can configure the shortcuts in the window manager, but if
    that is not allowed, you can change the \QDS shortcuts.


    To override the platform default value that determines whether
    keyboard shortcuts are shown in the labels of context menu items,
    select \preferences > \uicontrol Environment >
    \uicontrol Interface. The label of the \uicontrol {Show keyboard shortcuts
    in context menus} check box indicates whether the platform default value
    is \c on or \c off.

    The following tables list the default keyboard shortcuts. They are
    categorized by actions.
