+<p>
+  Almost every available function in Ardour can be executed via a
+  <dfn>key binding</dfn> or <dfn><abbr title="Open Sound
+  Control">OSC</abbr></dfn> command. There are many more functions
+  available than there are keys on even the largest current computer
+  keyboards, so only a subset of them are bound to keys by default.
+</p>
+<h2>Key bindings for menu items</h2>
+<p>
+  Existing key bindings in menus are listed on the right side of the
+  menu items.
+</p>
+<p>
+  To create a custom key binding for a menu item quickly, navigate to
+  the relevant (sub-) menu, hover over the item with the mouse and press
+  the desired combination of modifiers and key.
+</p>  
+<p class="warning">
+  Ardour will silently re-assign the binding if you use a key
+  combination that is already in use, possibly removing a standard
+  keyboard shortcut without warning you. That might lead to confusion
+  when you ask other users for help, and they explain something in terms
+  of a standard key binding, which will then have a completely
+  different effect on your system.
+</p>
+<h2>Key binding editor</h2>
+<p>
+  For a complete overview of all existing keyboard bindings, go to 
+  <kbd class="menu">Window &gt; Key Bindings</kbd>. This widget will let
+  you view and edit even those functions that are not available in the menu,
+  and even remove key bindings altogether.
