Swing Catalyst & Motion Catalyst supports a number of keyboard shortcuts.
This article details the keyboard shortcuts.
A keyboard shortcut can be just one keyboard press but also a combination of presses.
In this article shortcuts that are longer than just one keyboard press are strung together using + .
This does not mean you need to press + on the keyboard, but it indicates you need to press both (or more) buttons together.
