    This is a document detailing the keys that are frequently used in Deluxe Paint 2 Enhanced by Electronic Arts. Once many years ago, I used to use this program for creating pixel by pixel images. On a day that I couldn't find any insipiration, like many of the days in my life at the moment, I decided to type out the keys for this great program. Enough with the introduction, on with the main event.
