Key bindings
Lute comes with some default key bindings.
You can change these and other shortcuts from the Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts menu.
Note: Before using the keyboard you must set the focus within the frame by clicking once on the frame.
Some of these actions refer to the "current word" - that's either the word you're hovering over, or have clicked.

Updating status
You can edit the status of the current word with a keystroke:

w | "Well Known" |
You can also "bulk update" statuses by holding down Shift and clicking with the mouse. All of the underlined terms will then be affected when you hit 1, 2, etc.
