It would be nice to show the key combo, yes. But it needs to be done 
dynamically as it may change. There could also be a link to set the 
combo....

You may wihs to add that as a reminder to mantis (as I am not going to 
do it now...)

Maybe worth showing the tabs including the translated width? But that 
may be confusing too.
1 (equals 2 spaces)
2 (equals 4 spaces)
3 (equals 6 spaces)

I'll need to see how much space there is. Moving them to a new page 
would irritate even more people (because eweryone who knows them, 
expects them there)

Yes, there are 2 columns.
And the space must be there, because translations may need it
