mstm Shortcut Keys

A new 'shortcuts' feature has been added to mstm which lets you do frequently performed operations quickly. For example, to select all disks and then run the verify tool on them, the user would hit the keys 'dv' then <RETURN> while the mstm map is displayed. For a list of the shortcut keys, hit the '?' key while the mstm map is displayed:
