About GIMP and its shortcuts

GIMP is the long-running free image editor, and its shortcuts cover tools, selections, layers and the view. Its tool letters will feel familiar to anyone who has used another raster editor, though the layer and dialog commands follow GIMP's own logic rather than a competitor's.

GIMP lets you rebind everything and ships a way to adopt another program's set, so a configured installation can differ widely. Shortivo publishes the Windows list, and version 3 moved some commands.
