This page provides a listing of the agreed upon shortcuts for the system at large and for various controls within the activities, which should be referenced for consistency across them. For a high-level philosophical on the usage of various modifier keys, please refer to the HIG.

Keystroke Description

O Gamepad Button Boots from backup OS image, for system recovery. (not yet in a stable build)
Left D-Pad Button Turns off "pretty boot" in firmware following q2c27; enables pretty boot in earlier builds.

X and Check (tick) Gamepad Buttons If an Autoreinstallation_image is present, skip upgrade, just writing an activation lease to USB key and boot. (If your XO doesn't have a check or tick key, use the 'O' key instead)
