Hotkeys Visual Guide
A good way to learn all this shorcuts is putting them in front of your eyes all the time. Because of that, we bring to you a beatiful "Hotkeys Visual Guide" that you can use as a poster.
PNG Version - SVN2011
We offer you two print sizes (both in PDF):
- A4 Version
- [A3 Version]
