Windy is correct. However . . . this can also be a "gotcha."
If this feature is enabled and you don't realize it, you can find
yourself in another universe awfully fast.
After checking into an NTS cw net one night, I sat idly twirling the RIT
knob knowing the RIT was off. A minute or two later it suddenly dawned
on me that the NCS was no longer transmitting. Moreover, the VFO was
displaying a frequency half a megacycle up the band. It took me a
half-hour to figure out what had happened.
But it IS a wonderful feature if you know what you're doing.

I might have missed this handy feature if another K3 owner hadn't
shown it to me. That's why I'm bringing it up here.
When RIT/XIT is off, it's control can function as a very coarse
tuning, to quickly zip around a band. To enjoy this feature, you need
to configure it -- See the user's manual, bottom of p. 14.
