 ## Requirements
 This script is optimized for a [Manjaro Linux](https://manjaro.org) with [GNOME desktop](https://www.gnome.org/?).
 ## System
+### Key Bindings
+The following *Core System* specific key bindings exist:
+
+|Combination |Result           |
+|------------|-----------------|
+|Ctrl+Alt+A  |Opens Atom       |
+|Ctrl+Alt+E  |Opens Eclipse    |
+|Ctrl+Alt+F  |Opens Firefox    |
+|Ctrl+Alt+K  |Opens KeePassXC  |
+|Ctrl+Alt+T  |Opens a terminal |
+
 ### User Data
 Right now the software expects that the *Core System Owner* has on all systems the same username. By executing the *import script* it automatic backups the application configuration data, ssh keys and other important data which is saved in well defined configuration files and folders.

+# To specify a key, you can use 'xbindkeys --key' or
+# 'xbindkeys --multikey' and put one of the two lines in this file.
+#
+# The format of a command line is:

+#
+# A list of keys is in /usr/include/X11/keysym.h and in
+# /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h
+# The XK_ is not needed.

+# List of modifier:
+#   Release, Control, Shift, Mod1 (Alt), Mod2 (NumLock),
+#   Mod3 (CapsLock), Mod4, Mod5 (Scroll).
+#
+
+# The release modifier is not a standard X modifier, but you can
+# use it if you want to catch release events instead of press events
+
+# By defaults, xbindkeys does not pay attention with the modifiers
+# NumLock, CapsLock and ScrollLock.
