Hotkeys

ATTENTION!

If you are adding documentation about a new keyboard shortcut please list the version number in which it was added in brackets after the description, see the existing content below for examples.

The following hotkeys are currently available in CorsixTH. Note that this page refers to the latest revision of CorsixTH, any key with a version number in brackets after it may not be available to you if you are running an old version of CorsixTH. Builds all the way back to the first beta can be found on the CorsixTH forums.
