† Keyboard shortcuts noted with a dagger are associated with a plug-in. They may not function if the plug-in is not active.
‡ The digital sky survey layering feature refers to the display as a "hierarchical progressive" sky survey.
¡ The "remove" constellation keyboard shortcut applies when "single constellation mode" is active.
Some shortcuts were omitted. Notably those for the oculars plug-in. And those to do with scripting.
