Hotkey

A hotkey is a key on the keyboard which activates something within a system. Specific to World of Warcraft, a hotkey activates abilities or skills, opens panes, begins or ends automatic actions, or, in general, performs whatever it has been scripted to do. 
'Binding' and 'keybinding' are equivalent terms.
== How to Edit Hotkeys ==
Players can edit their hotkeys via the options menu ingame. The pane lists every hotkey currently made accessible by the UI, including those which AddOns have created.
== Server-Side Keybindings ==
Whenever the keybindings of an account get edited, they synchronize themselves with the server. This makes a re-installation of World of Warcraft much easier.
However: Sometimes this isn't prefered. (Maybe to play with different computers and different keybindings.) So it can also be disabled ingame. (To enable it, just replace the 0 with a 1)
Before 3.0.3: /console synchronizeConfig 0 
After 3.0.3: /console synchronizeBindings 0
