About Kdenlive and its shortcuts

Kdenlive comes out of the KDE project, and it follows KDE conventions: nearly everything is bindable, the defaults are visible in one configuration screen, and the editing commands cover the timeline, the clip monitor and the project bin.

Shortivo publishes the Windows list. Because Kdenlive exposes its full configuration, an installation someone has tuned can differ from the defaults in almost every command.
