Keyboard Accessibility

Many of the commands available on the Menu bar can be assessed using keyboard keys rather than using the mouse. This is done by using combination keys that map to particular menu options. Looking at the Menu bar options, notice that each of them has a single letter underlined. Holding down the Alt keyboard key then typing the underlined letter has the same effect as clicking on the menu option concerned. For instance, typing the Alt-F keys will open the File menu shown below.
