Keyboard shortcuts
Mnemonics
Mnemonics are single key strokes, used to activate components such as menu
items. A single mnemonic is equivalent to a mouse click. A mnemonic can be
used to select a menu item by pressing the <Alt> key to go into menu pull-down
mode, pressing a single key to open a menu and another key to select a menu
item. For example:
■ <Alt> to go into menu pull-down mode
■ <f> key to access the File menu
■ <o> to activate the ‘‘open’’ command
Mnemonics are case insensitive. Keys can be pressed sequentially instead of
simultaneously.
