In the Key Commands window, under the "key" column, there are several symbols used - one symbol represents the full keyboard, one represents the number pad, and the third I don't understand - it's a hollow square overlaying a filled-in square...what does this one mean?

That's an indicator for key commands, that are used in two or more editors and may have a higher priority elsewhere.
Example: Forward is a global command that can be triggered by pressing ".".
But this works also in the step input keyboard, which has a higher priority.

Thanks. That's a great site, but it doesn't mention the symbol I was talking about. The symbol I'm talking about isn't actually a key command; it's in the Key Commands window under the "key" column.
Thanks! That answers the question, but raises another: do we get to choose and set where these dual-use keys happen, or is this function preset so it can only happen in certain windows, like editors?
