Add section in help explaining the use of the current set of hotkeys (GNA #4067) about wesnoth HOT 8 OPEN

Would it be possible to instead just make the current hotkey rows in the preferences dialog have hover text with a more detailed description? Having to go all the way from the preferences (when not sure what something does) to the help page (to read the description of what said thing does) and then back to the preferences would take far too much time especially if there are multiple preferences they want to check.

Waiting on #994.

An option for this one.

As wiki rightfully points out, different keyboard layouts can have different hotkeys. This should be mostly covered by help localization.

Plus, Mac has different hotkey system. Would be nice to make the hotkeys help depend on current platform.

#994 has been replaced by #3653.

However, it would be possible to implement this without #3653, if someone wanted to.

Updated labels accordingly.

the MANUAL seems to be constantly out of date

Solution: delete this information from the manual.

IMO, this could be remedied by adding a help section going through and explaining in slightly wordier manner than the curt texts given in Preferences for what the hotkeys do.

Having to look up documentation is poor user experience. A better option would be to fit all the relevant info into the UI somehow.
