The keyboard shortcut definition is based on the key position on the
keyboard, not on a dedicated letter. IPEdit automatically detects the
keyboard used, hence it supports default shortcuts on Qwerty and Azerty
keyboards. The following shortcuts are applicable to Qwerty keyboards.
When working with Azerty keyboards, the default shortcuts are located
on the same keyboard position, i.e. Q Î A, … Users can always edit the
default keyboard shortcuts in the Tools > Define Shortcuts window.
