Hotkey only functionality
Important: These hotkeys works with the default Bforartists key map. And they do not list the Ndof hotkeys. Ndof is a 3d connexion mouse device that is also used for tablets.
Most of the tools can be found in the graphical UI. But there are still some tools that are hotkey only. Some have a UI brother with equal functionality. For example, Pick shortest path is the hotkey sister of Select shortest path. Some are hotkey only since they cannot be integrated in the graphical UI. Like calling the File menu under the mouse. Or mouse position dependent functionality like selecting an edge loop.
The navigation hotkeys and the context menus are excluded here since they are already covered.
