A printable cheat-sheet with the mnemonic bindings for Linux
is available for download in
US Letter and
A4 paper format.
This set of bindings assumes an en_US keyboard. However, most if not all
bindings will also work on other keyboards when the AltGr key is
used to compose those glyphs that are not directly accessible.

Editing with Edit Point
Most edit functions operate on a single Edit Point (EP). The edit
point can be any of: playhead (default), the mouse or an active marker. The
choice of edit point (by default) also sets the Zoom Focus.

Aligning with the Edit Point
Align operations move regions so that their start/end/sync point
is at the edit point. Relative operations just align the first
region and moves other selected regions to maintain relative positioning.
