-Use this button to activate the keyboard binding. This requires that the focus is set to the main window. On a few occasions the main window looses focus and the button gets unselected. Just click again on this button to reactivate the keyboard binding. Note that you need to have this button selected (its background should be lit in beige/orange) for the key binding to be effective.
