keybindings
Keyboard shortcut mappings
Keybindings are the assignments that link keyboard keys or combinations to specific actions in software.
A program's keybindings determine what happens when you press Ctrl+S or Alt+Tab.
Users often customize keybindings to match their workflow or habits from other applications: I changed my keybindings to match Vim.
