+<title>Common Keyboard Shortcuts</title>
+
+<para>The &plasma-workspaces; provide keyboard shortcuts that allow you to
+perform many tasks without touching your mouse. If you use your keyboard
+frequently, using these can save you lots of time.</para>
+
+<para>This list contains the most common shortcuts supported by the workspace
+itself and many applications available within. Every application also provides
+its own shortcuts, so be sure to check their manuals for a comprehensive
+listing.</para>
+
+<note><para>
+The <keysym>Meta</keysym> key described below is a generic name for
+the custom key found on many different keyboards. On keyboards
+designed for &Microsoft; &Windows;, this key is usually called the
+<keysym>Windows</keysym> key, and will have a picture of the &Windows;
+logo. On keyboards designed for &Mac; computers, this key is known as
+the <keysym>Command</keysym> key and will have a picture of the
+<trademark class="registered">Apple</trademark> logo and/or the
+<keycap>⌘</keycap> symbol. On keyboards designed for &UNIX; systems, this key
+is really known as the <keysym>Meta</keysym> key and is typically labeled with a
+diamond: <keycap>◆</keycap>.
