+<note tip>Bindings can be a one or two key combination. Use "Nothing" for the Modifier for a single-key combination (only permitted for F keys, aka Function keys, as otherwise you might call actions accidentally.</note>
+First, choose the **Modifier**: Nothing, Control, Shift, or Alt.
+[{{:cats:settings:usersettings_keybindingsmodifierdropdown.png|Select the Modifier key from the drop-down box.}}]
+Next, choose the **Function** key: Letter or Function keys F3 through F12.
+[{{:cats:settings:usersettings_keybindingsfunctiondropdown.png|Choose the function key drop-down box.}}]
+For example, choosing Modifier ''Control'' and Function ''R'' for the Screen Font Reset option means that when you push Ctrl and R on the keyboard together, the Screen Font will reset its size.
