<p><strong>Key Strokes</strong></p>\r

-Jalview responds a number of key strokes, and has two distinct modes of\r
-keyboard operation. The <em>F2</em> key switches between 'Normal' and\r
-<a href="features/cursorMode.html">'Cursor'</a> mode operation.\r
+Jalview has two distinct modes of keyboard operation - in 'Normal'\r
+ mode, single keystrokes (including those shown next to menu items)\r
+ provide short cuts to common commands. In <a\r
+ href="features/cursorMode.html">'Cursor'</a> mode (enabled by\r
+ <em>F2</em>), some of these are disabled and more complex 'Compound\r
+ Keystrokes' can be entered to perform precise navigation, selection\r
+ and editing operations.\r
