Research direction
Open docs/getstarted/userinterface.md and inspect the keybindings HTML element alongside the tooltip shown in the issue images. Compare their fonts and determine whether the page should use a less ambiguous character or font; done means the keybinding no longer makes O and 0 difficult to distinguish.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The font used for the commands makes O look like 0 to inexperienced users. I'm sure that 0 actually has a slash through it, but when first navigating to a page, it's ambiguous. I was stuck wondering why Ctrl+Shift+0 wasn't working.
A possible work around that doesn't involve changing the font, would be to use o instead of O. That is "o" instead of "O".
Compare the html element's font to the tooltip font:
