You can use mnemonic keystrokes to
access menu items. The mnemonic keystrokes are indicated in the main
menus by an underlined letter.
To use the mnemonic keystroke to access a menu command
- Press Alt and the underlined letter, then press
only the underlined letter for sub-menu commands.
For example, to access the Breakpoints dialog box (which is
part of the Edit menu), press Alt + E, then
press B.
- When you are in mnemonic mode, press the arrow keys to move up
and down or to move left and right.
- Press the Escape key to exit mnemonic mode.

correctly if the CAPS LOCK or NUM LOCK is set on
your keyboard. |
