The options available for each shortcut in the editor window are mainly dependent upon the type of shortcut being created or edited.
The four main types of shortcuts are Template keys, Control Command keys, Timeline keys and Layout keys.

Note: From Viz Mosart 4.x, Template Router is the new name for what was Wall Manager.

If there is a shortcut of type AUTO or CONTINUE, it shows how many continue points there are left.
