# Keybinding Reference

This appendix lists the keyboard shortcuts which are defined by default in &gnum;.

Keybindings are combinations of keystrokes which tell an application to run a task. These can greatly speed-up the user's interactions with an application. Some of the most common ones are Ctrl s to save a file or Ctrl q to quit the application. &gnum; also comes with keybindings to make your spreadsheet experience faster.

Normally, keybindings are next to a command in a menu. For example, if Save has Ctrl s next to it, that means that Ctrl s can be typed at the same time to save your file. However, some keystrokes aren't listed in the menus. They are as follows:

- F2 sets the current cell for editing. The cursor is inserted at the end of the current text.

- Ctrl-O opens the Load file dialog window.
