Added by AngeloAngelo's shortcuts

Angelo keeps Blender's keymaps and adds a few shortcuts of its own, such as ⌃ ⌥ M to switch between Director and Manual and ⌃ ⌥ N to show or hide the chat (Ctrl Alt M and Ctrl Alt N on Windows). Keyboard shortcuts lists them all. A keymap you bring over from Blender keeps working.
