This can be done the way Kim suggested (a small yellow screen with a details link). The changed bindings can be marked in the tutorial text or they can be marked and replaced. 3) A combination of 1 and 2. Let the user decide. (This is perhaps a bit complicated for a tutorial.) 4) Stop the user from running the tutorial. I do not like this option.
