And under that you can set custom mappings to make your workflow smoother and even keybind useful stuff that has no preset keys.

Such as

Edge Loop Select- Selects multiple edges in a single continuous line
Parallel Edge Loop Select- Selects an edge and all edges parallel to that edge.
Extrude along an Axis
Extrude along a Curve
Inset Polygons
