Keyboard shortcuts

Many functions can be accessed more fluently and intuitively from the keyboard with the help of "keyboard shortcuts".

Example: with the key combination Ctrl-N you start the New Game function.

Example

Via the menu File – Customize you can see the complete list of the current mapping of keyboard functions.

Note: In the program, you can define or modify user-defined key combinations, so-called "hotkeys", in the menu File – Customize.
