<tmdoc-title|Conventions for this manual>
<paragraph*|Menu entries>
Throughout the <TeXmacs> manual, menu entries will be typeset using a
<em|sans serif> font, like in <menu|Document>, <menu|File|Load> or
<menu|Format|Font shape|Italic>.
<paragraph*|Keyboard modifiers>
<TeXmacs> makes use of the following keyboard modifiers:
<\description>
<item*|<prefix|S->>For shift key combinations.
<item*|<prefix|C->>For control key combinations.
<item*|<prefix|A->>For alternate key combinations.
<item*|<prefix|M->>For meta key combinations.
</description>
For instance, <key*|M-S-x> stands for the action which consists of
simultaneously pressing the three keys <prefix|M->, <prefix|S-> and
<key|x>.
The actual keyboard modifier keys depend on your system as indicated in the
following table

<paragraph*|Keyboard shortcuts>
Keyboard shortcuts are obtained by pressing several keys or \Pmodified
keys\Q in succession. For instance, the shortcut <key|- \<gtr\>>
corresponds on first pressing the <key|-> key and then the key
<key|\<gtr\>>. Inside mathematical formulas, this shortcut inserts the
arrow <math|<op|\<rightarrow\>>>. Similarly, the shortcut <key*|C-x C-f>
consists of first pressing the keys <prefix|C-> and <key|x> together, and
next pressing the keys <prefix|C-> and <key|f> again together. In the
<name|Emacs> \Plook and feel\Q, this shortcut enables you to open a new
file.
Some common keyboard prefixes are detailed in the section on <hlink|general
keyboard rules|../text/keyboard/man-general-rules.en.tm>. In cases when
<TeXmacs> keyboard shortcuts are superseded by shortcuts from the operating
system, <hlink|equivalents for the keyboard
modifiers|../config/man-config-keyboard.en.tm#kbd-escape-table> can be
obtained using the <key*|escape> key. For instance, <key*|escape> is
equivalent to <key|escape> and <key*|escape escape> is equivalent to
<key|escape escape>.
Notice that the <TeXmacs> menus and keyboard behavior are <em|contextual>,
<abbr|i.e.> they depend on the current mode (i.e. text mode or \Pmath
mode\Q), the current language and the position of the cursor inside your
document. For instance, inside math mode, you have special keyboard
shortcuts which are handy for typing mathematical formulas, but which are
useless in text mode.
<paragraph*|Special keys>
On some platforms, some special keys such as the Return key are depicted by
short glyphs. Below follows the table with all such special keys and there
meaning.
