	Renoise features an enormous amount of keyboard shortcuts, but in the previous topics we often only noted a few of the important ones. Besides those, there are many other shortcuts available and even unassigned shortcuts, which you can customise yourself if they fit well into your work-flow.

	Renoise utilises a shortcut Focus system for the keyboard, which means that most keyboard shortcuts only apply to a specific region in the interface. ~~We will refer~~ to ~~those~~ as ''~~local''.

Renoise utilises a shortcut Focus system for the keyboard, which means that most keyboard shortcuts only apply to a specific region of the interface. Those are referred to below as 'Local', while the others are 'Global'. The currently focused area is indicated by small corners that are coloured orange by default:

	When you start up Renoise, the [[Pattern Editor]] is focused by default. If you use the arrow keys then the Pattern Editor's cursor will start moving around. Now left-click somewhere in the [[Disk Browser]] while holding down the ''"Left Alt"'' key, which will set the Focus to the Disk Browser. Notice that the orange corners now surround the Disk Browser and the arrow keys move around to select files and folders.		When you start up Renoise, the [[Pattern Editor]] is focused by default.

	The idea behind this is that the main components of Renoise (such as the Pattern Editor) should always be ready for editing. The keyboard Focus ~~should~~ not move ~~loosely~~ around~~, unless~~ you ~~want it to. If you want it to~~, you can change it via the ''"View->Lock Keyboard Focus"'' option in the Upper Status Bar.
