todo: reduce differences between EN and FR and check images see discussion too

Depending on what you do, you're going to want to organize your windows differently (specially nice using a small screen, such 13").

You have 4 different game desktops, by default the shortcuts are F1 to F4 (K to change the shortcuts) - keyboard shortcuts are the same in the Game ^[1].

As the default is number 1, you can add/hide toolbars and a lot of windows by pressing F1 (hold down the key F1 to open this window):

Here are some basic keyboard shortcuts

• F1, F2, F3 and F4: switch on one of your 4 screens (desktops), while
• holding down the Fx key displays the configuration screen of the screen x (x=1 to 4). It can be used as a reminder of several basic keyboard shortcuts.

On each Fx screen, you can change opacity and hide/show and move several toolbars and windows using

• Status: Identity (P), Journal of Mission (J), Encyclopedia (Shift+E)
• Actions & inventory: Inventory (I), action progression (B)
• Guild and Team: Team (T) and later Guild (G)
• Communication: fame (Shift+f), web (Shift+W), Friends
• Orientation: Map
• Animals: Shift+P (as Pets).
• Options: Configuration (U), Keybindings (K), Connection (Shift+N as Network) - in here, global to the game.

  Desktop 1 (press F1 to add a 2nd Hands toolbar)
