Keyboard Menu Equivalents

You can turn on or turn off the keyboard accelerator keys. This means that the keyboard character of the acceleration shows up in the following:

• Application + Window -- means in all applications that use them and in Open Windows menus

• Application Only -- means only OPEN LOOK applications that use them

• None -- means will not show up in any OPEN LOOK application

This is a standard set of tasks (within a DeskSet application) that can be "accelerated" from the keyboard by using keyboard shortcuts. These will be visible from the pull-down menus, and can be configured on or off from the Workspace Properties menu. Keyboard accelerators are active for only the windows that are active. If you need to turn these off, you can select None from Keyboard Menu Equivalents from the Keyboard Properties. The following table outlines the keyboard shortcuts and their functions.

Note -

The Meta key is the <> key on SPARC keyboards; on IA keyboards Meta is obtained by pressing Ctrl-Alt.
