Hotkey Context
Some Hotkeys can be context sensitive, that is, you can use the same Hotkey against different commands in different selection modes. For example, “S” is the default Hotkey for [Face | Smooth] and [Object | Smooth], so you could assign “S” to [Edge | Slide] if that seemed like a good idea to you.
