+<para
+>While most of the functionality offered by &kde; can be accessed using a simple <quote
+>point and click</quote
+> interface, many people prefer using the keyboard for some tasks. Pressing something like <keycombo action="simul"
+> &Ctrl;<keycap
+>F</keycap
+></keycombo
+> is often just faster than moving your hands off the keyboard to the mouse, opening the <guimenu
+>Edit</guimenu

+>.</para>

+<para
+>As different people have different preferences about keyboard shortcuts, &kde; offers full customisation of <quote

+>Configuring Key Bindings</title>
+
+<para
+>Configuring key bindings is pretty easy. In the middle of the key bindings control module you'll find a list of available actions. If there's a key binding configured for that action you'll find it right next to it. Just select the action you want to configure.</para>
+
+<para
+>After you've selected an action you'll notice that most of the controls below the action list are enabled. There you can configure a combination of keys or maybe no key binding at all for the selected action. </para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem
+><para
+><guilabel
+>No key</guilabel
+>: the selected action will not be associated with any key.</para
+></listitem>
+
+<listitem
+><para
+><guilabel
+>Default key</guilabel
+>: the selected action will be associated with &kde;'s default value. This is a good choice for most actions, as &kde; comes with reasonable key bindings we have thought about. </para
+></listitem>
+
+<listitem
+><para
+><guilabel
+>Custom key</guilabel
+>: if this option is enabled, you can create a key combination for the selected action. Just select any modifiers (&ie; &Shift;, &Ctrl;, or &Alt;) and then select a key: just click on the key symbol and after that press the key you want to assign to this key combination.</para

+
+<para
+>As with all control modules, your changes won't take in effect until you click <guibutton

+<title
+>Configuring Schemes</title>
+
+<para
+>A key binding scheme is a set of key bindings that you can access using its name. &kde; comes with one pre-defined key binding scheme called <guilabel
+>KDE default for 3 modifiers</guilabel
+>. In addition to that scheme, you'll always see a scheme named <guilabel
+>Current scheme</guilabel
+> that stands for the set of key bindings you are using right now (&ie; not the current settings you are playing with, but what you've been using up to now). </para>
+
+<para
+>When you are playing with the key bindings for the first time you don't have to be afraid of changing the default bindings: &kde; won't let you overwrite the defaults, so you can always switch back to the factory presets. By choosing <guilabel
+>Current scheme</guilabel
+> you can return to the set of key bindings you've been using up to now. However, be careful not to select a scheme when you've made changes to the key bindings you don't want to lose.</para>
+
+<para
+>When you are satisfied with a set of key bindings you've created, you may want to save them to a scheme of your own, so that you can still experiment with the bindings and always return to a certain scheme. You can always do this by clicking on the <guibutton
+>Add</guibutton
+> button. You will be prompted for a name and then the new scheme will appear in the key schemes listbox. You can remove your own schemes again by selecting a scheme and clicking the <guibutton
+>Remove</guibutton
+> button. Click the <guibutton
+>Save changes</guibutton
+> button to save any changes you have made to the currently selected scheme. Note that you can not remove or save changes to <guilabel
+>KDE default</guilabel
+> or to <guilabel
+>Current scheme</guilabel
+>.</para>
+
+<important
+><para
+>If you want to save your changes while a read-only scheme is selected, you always have to add a new scheme first! If you select one of your own schemes because you want to save the changes to that one, the control module will switch to the key bindings of that scheme, discarding your changes.</para

+<title
+>Modifier Keys</title>
+
+<para
+>Different keyboards offer different sets of modifier keys. A &Mac; keyboard, for example, does not have a &Ctrl; key, and instead has an <keycap
+>Option</keycap
+> key. Here you can see what the available modifier keys for the current keyboard are.</para>
+
+<para
+>If you enable <guilabel
+>Macintosh keyboard</guilabel
+> the list of modifiers will change.</para>
+
+<para
+>If you have enabled the &Mac; keyboard, you can further enable <guilabel
+>MacOS-style modifier usage</guilabel
+>, to make &kde; behave more like &MacOS;.</para
+><!-- FIXME: well, that's rather non-explanatory, more here would be good -->
+
+<para
+>Finally, you can change what a keypress sends to the &X-Server; in the <guilabel
+>X Modifier Mapping</guilabel
+> section. A common example is to reconfigure the <keycap
+>Caps Lock</keycap
+> key, which is rarely used, to be another &Ctrl; key. This is especially nice if you are a touch typist, as <keycap
+>Caps Lock</keycap
+> is much easier to reach than either of the &Ctrl; keys on a standard keyboard.</para>
