This wiki uses symbols that look like {{K|t}} or {{Menu icon|t}} to indicate what keys or [[interface]] buttons are used for an operation. Note that keys are '''case sensitive''' and to save space, {{K|Shift|t|sep=+}} is shown as {{K|T}}. So {{K|t}} means "press the 't' key without the shift key" and {{K|T}} means "hold down shift and press the 't' key". Lowercase and uppercase keys will often perform different functions, so it is important to use the correct key. Sequences of keys will be in separate boxes, so {{K|a|b|C}} means "press 'a', then press 'b', then hold shift and press 'c'"; while {{Menu icon|b|T}} means "press 'b', then hold shift and press 'T'. A plus sign '+' between the boxes means to press them all together, so {{K|Shift|Enter|sep=+}} means to hold shift and press 'Enter'. Other separators, such as ',' or '-', might be used but mean the same as no separator: to press the keys in sequence.

Most documents on the wiki use key symbols that look like {{K|t}} to indicate what keys are used for an operation. Note that these are '''case sensitive'''. In order to save space, {{K|Shift}}+{{K|t}} will be written as {{K|T}}. So {{K|t}} means "press the 't' key without the shift key" and {{K|T}} means "hold down shift and press the 't' key". Lowercase and uppercase keys will almost never perform the same function, so it is important to use the correct key. Sequences of keys will be written with dashes between them, so {{K|a}}-{{K|b}}-{{K|C}} means "press 'a', then press 'b', then hold shift and press 'c'".
  
Keybindings can be seen and changed on the [[Settings#Keybindings|Keybindings]] tab in the [[Settings]] menu.
