==Hotkeys (Shortcut keys)==

Hot keys in the program can be divided into local and global. '''Local''' works only when the main window is shown; '''global''' works in any situation, e.g. while working with another program.

===Global shortcuts===
{| border="1"
| Ctrl + F11 + F11 || Display the main window
|-
| Ctrl + C + C || Translate the contents of a selected word, or of the clipboard, if no word is selected
|-
| Ctrl + Ins + Ins || Same as Ctrl+C+C, but in older versions)
|}

'''Note''':
Global keys may not be available in a fresh GNU / Linux distributions because of an error in X.Org server.

===Local shortcuts===
{| border="1"
! Shortcut !! Area !! Result
|-
| Alt + G || Both main and popup windows || Pick a dictionary group from the drop-down menu
|-
| Alt + S || Both main and popup windows || Pronounce current word
|-
| Alt + Left/Right || Both main and popup windows || Display previous/next entry in history
|-
| Alt + M || Popup || List entries that match current selection
|-
| ESC|| Popup || Close the popup window
|-

'''Note''':
* Once in the main window, just start typing, and the focus will move to the ''Look-Up'' box.
* To use shortcuts in the popup window, make sure that it is active, click on it. Otherwise they will be handled by an external application.
* Alt + Left/Right produces the same effect as yellow arrows at main toolbar, not the ''History'' menu.
