Bug Description

In Inkscape 0.92 a user can quickly align objects with the following keyboardshortcuts

Ctrl+Alt+2 : Align bottom
Ctrl+Alt+4 : Align left
Ctrl+Alt+5 : Align horizontal and vertical center
Ctrl+Alt+6 : Align right
Ctrl+Alt+8 : Align top
Ctrl+Alt+h : Align horizontal center
Ctrl+Alt+t : Align Vertical center

you can check the discussion & commit enabling this shortcuts here ->

However, I couldn't find these shortcuts documented in the official keys
and mouse reference. May be I am missing something? If it is not there
already can we update the shortcut sheet.

Important note:

Only the numpad numbers are accepted for me, can someone please check if it is the same on Windows?

Ctrl+Alt+T opens a terminal for me on Linux per default...

Yes, that's by design, see [1].

Actually I noticed this glitch in the UI before, it should probably be adjusted to add the "KP_" to the displayed shortcut.

Thanks! Yes, I think that would help many people who wonder why it doesn't work.
Improved keys file a bit to be more consistent.
