Say you take a long vacation. You come back and can't remember some of your key definitions. What are you going to do? In EDT you can look them up very quickly. I don't recall such a feature for EVE.

You define them in your EVE initialisation file. Some examples:

define key= gold/d wps gold-|
define key= gold/r wps gold-r
define key=gold-left shift left 16
define key=gold-right shift right 16
