Sonique2 - Hotkeys Help

Appliction Hotkeys and Their Functions
These keys are defined at the application level and will exist regardless of your interface - unless the interface roguely re-defines these keys. If you do not like these key sequences, let us know which ones you wish changed and why - and we'll consider it for the next pre-release. If you are of the hacker type, you can edit these in your sonique2 settings file - but we don't support them if you do make any changes. Oh, and don't edit this file while sonique2 is running - or your changes won't take affect.
