There is a modified Shortcuts AppImage version for testing on 64-bit O/S
which is set up to be more in sync with what is considered to be "Standard"
shortcuts for NLEs..  IgorB uses these and prepared a listing of the
alternatives as shown below.  If there are users who test these and prefer
the more Standard ones, I can create an AppImage at the same time as what
is released.  It is currently at:

---------------------
Changed shortcuts to Standard Shortcuts -  only English version for the
caption/hints.  The texts in the menu and the captions of the icons,
written with the '-' character between the Special key and the key, for
example "Shift-s", have been replaced by the '+' character.  And the
letters are always in capital letters although Shift is not pressed. Many,
if not all the other NLE programs use this notation.   Some shortcuts like
"BD Render... (Ctrl+Shift+d)" and "DVD Render... (Alt+d) have been deleted
because they are not used  frequently.

These shortcuts are very useful because the keys more frequently used have
priority in editing: one hand (left) on the keyboard and the other hand
(right) on the mouse.

/* ********************************************************************** */
Goal:
Changing some shortcuts to a NLE's standard shortcuts.
For example: J - K - L (Play Normal reverse - Stop- Play Normal forward)
                        if pressed twice J (or L), its Play Fast or Normal.
             I - O (InPoint - OutPoint)
             A - S (Jump backwards next cut - Jump forwards next cut)

If an shortcut on After column has a '+' symbol (for example: + 'I'),
it means that it is added to the old shortcut/s on Before column
and also that that shortcut has been take from an old shortcut (of course),
which it has another key.
