There's a very easy workaround for this, namely IDKEY.PM. Run it, then
hit any key or key combination, and the cursor jumps to the precise line in
the KeyBoarD file where this keystroke is assigned. Even if you had the best
manual in the world, IDKEY would be an easier way to jump to a location in the KBD
file, for identification, revision, or whatever.

Go to:

then search for "IDKEY.PM". Lots of flexibility in the program, too; it defaults
to the currently-loaded .KBD file, but you can also run it against an unloaded KBD
file (helpful during development).
