In the Help pages and "Tip of the Day" pop-up boxes, the keystrokes given for any command are always the default keystrokes, even when the actual command keystrokes have been changed by the user (via Utilities > Global Settings). It would be terrific if these pages were dynamic -- in that when the user has changed the keystrokes for a command, it is reflected in the Help and Tip pages.

The Help window has two panes, the left one displaying an outline of all of the Help topics. The first six topics ("Welcome to jEdit" through "GNU Free Documentation License") cannot be collapsed into a single heading the same way that most of the other topics can. These six entries are rarely accessed, but consume a fair amount of space in the left pane. It would be great if they were grouped under one heading, and thus could be collapsed and hidden away.

In the online Help information, keyboard shortcuts are formatted as, for example, "Control-E X". But in the Utilities > Global Options > Shortcuts list it would be "C-e x". It would be much more clear if they were consistent, and if they followed the most common convention now in use, in this case, "Ctrl + E, X". One advantage to this convention is that it matches what is seen on almost all keyboards (of Intel machines), namely, "Ctrl", "Alt", "Shift", and capital letters for the alphabetic keys.
