Joachim Seemer e564a3c1f7 * Added more CSS control for menus, buttons, app names, shell commands, paths.
* Always wanting keyboard graphics for shortcuts, Jorge suggested simple borders
  for simplicity. Great idea! Added.
* Added Jorge's rounded boxes for note/warning/stop plus symbols.
* If anyone wants to fine tune esp. colours, go ahead. Jorge and I are both
  challenged in that department. :)
* A few small corrections and reformatting here and there.
* Excluded the topic "Installation" from the contents until it's further along.

<p>The Keymap window shows a representation of your keyboard. When you press a key, the corresponding key is inverted and the assigned symbol is entered into the text field at the top. From there you can copy and paste it into any document.<br />
Thus, the Keymap preferences are not only for configuring your local keymap, but are also useful when looking for a special symbol used in other languages. For example, you can switch the keymap to "French", find the "&ccedil;" and copy it into your mail to Fran&ccedil;ois. (Though you'll find the "cedil" also in other keymaps...")</p>
<p>Pressing modifier keys like <span class="key">SHIFT</span> or <span class="key">AltGr</span>, you'll find more special characters.</p>
<p>Then there are the keys that are marked with a yellow outline. These are keys that can change the key you press after that. If you press a yellow key twice, those changeable keys are marked with a red outline. Examples are &eacute;, &ntilde;, &oacute; or &euml;.</p>
<p>You set the used font, which may or may not contain all symbols for a specific keymap from the <span class="menu">Font</span> menu.</p>
<table summary="layout" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">

<tr><td><span class="button">Use</span></td><td>&#160;</td><td>applies your changes.</td></tr>
