List of hotkeys/shortcuts
JDownloader contains two types of hotkeys:
All hotkeys which are performing actions that are also available as buttons in the toolbar or actions in the context menu can be user defined in the respective menu editors.
All other hotkeys are hardcoded.
All hotkeys are for the GUI version of JDownloader. There are no hotkeys for our my.jdownloader.org webinterface available!

Applying custom shortcuts
You can edit existing- or define custom shortcuts for all actions which you can find in the menu manager.
There are 3 menu managers:
Downloadlist
Linkgrabberlist
Main toolbar
Some actions are in all 3 of them, some are.g. only on the downloadlist menu manager.
Global shortcuts for actions which are not available in the mentioned menu managers cannot be edited.
Removing shortcuts
There is no button to explicitely remove a shortcut but you can reset a shortcut of an action to its default value with the yellow-arrow button nearby.
If the default is "no shortcut", that will remove the shortcut.
How to find the respective menu editors
Rightclick in the downloadlist/linkgrabber/toolbar -> Open menu editor
