The shortcuts that are displayed in red color are associated with several
functions. \QC executes the function that is available in the current
context. If several functions are available for the same shortcut at a

Typically, you can configure the shortcuts in the window manager, but if
that is not allowed, you can change the \QC shortcuts. For example, Unity on
