I know this is purely since I'm American, but rM- means absolutely nothing to me and even just a S- or W- is confusing to read. I'd suggest typing out the full 'short' names of the keys would make it quite a bit more readable. I'd never even heard of a "Meta" key before this thread and since I never ever use the Left Win key for anything, I totally don't associate it with "Win". Using single letter existing keys for modifiers is confusing too. Is W-C-R the W key, C Key and R key? Or Windows key and C key and R key or Windows, Control and Return? See the change for confusion? LWin + LCtrl + R is clear and understandable.

Using RCtrl-M, LShift-S, LWin-Home, LAlt-NumPad2 instead of rC-M, S-S, W-Home, lM-Num2 would go a long way to making that chart more useful to me at least, probably others.

I'd suggest using these instead:

Modifier Notation:
Left Shift = LShift-
Right Shift = RShift-
Left Alt = LAlt-
Right Alt = RAlt-
Left Control = LCtrl-
Right Control = RCtrl-
Left Windows = LWin-
Right Windows = RWin-

kylania, the notation comes from the GNU Emacs notation for keyboard shortcuts. As in Emacs, modifier keys like Control, Alt (or Meta), Win cannot stand alone in DCS, and you cannot press two ordinary keys at once either. DCS, unlike Emacs, distinguishes left and right modifier keys, so a little r indicates the right modifier.

All of the modifiers are listed in the very first table for clarity.

"W-C-R" for instance means press Windows and Control modifiers and the R key.
Consecutive presses of W, C and R keys would be denoted "W C R".

The Emacs notation is very concise and precise at the same time, and I like that very much about it.

If I get around to it, I might check how the table looks with your longer notation. But as you can see, the second column is already used almost completely by some of the more complicated commands. So it would probably mess up the compact presentation.

Anyway, there are already other keyboard references around with your proposed style and A-10C even has a spreadsheet with all keyboard commands in the Doc folder.

Lisp, LaTeX, Emacs. Aw, the good memories.

Thanks OlafM!

I finally got around to update the reference to version 1.1.1.1 of both A-10C and BS2:

• Default keyboard bindings for DCS A-10C
• Default keyboard bindings for DCS A-10C, including unbound commands
• Default keyboard bindings for DCS Ka-50 (it seems everything is bound!)

The style has changed a little, so I don't have to split the tables manually for every new version.

But I kept the very concise notation: I made some experiments with longer notations, but those blew up the page count.

Fantastic. I had seen an older version but never knew where it came from. Thanks.

Brilliant - many thanks.
