Keyboard Shortcuts (Accelerators or Hot Keys) and
Mnemonics
Yo u can access many of the menu items using shortcut keys (sometimes called
accelerators or hot keys) for your platform . For example, u se the Ctrl+X
shortcut to perform a cut on Windows platforms. Many of the menu items
show the shortcuts. Additional standard shortcuts for your platform usually
work but only one is listed with each menu item .
See additional shortcuts for the Command Window at “Keyb oa rd Shortcuts
in the Command Window” on page 3-26, and for the Editor/Debugger at
“Keyboard Shortcuts in the Editor/Debugger” on page 6-59.
Instructions in the documentation specify shortcuts using the Windows
Ctrl+ key convention, but with Macintosh key b indings selected, you can
use the Command key instead. On the Macintosh, to make full use of all
keyboard shortcuts, you need to select the Full Access system preference
for Keyboard Shortcuts.
Yo u can also use mnemonics to access menu items and buttons, such as Alt+F
to open the File me nu. This is not supported on the Macintosh platform.
Mnemonics are listed with the menu item or button. For e xample, on the File
menu, the F in File is underlined, which indicates that Alt+F opens the
menu. In the Profiler, the R in the Run this code toolbar field is underlined,
indicating that Alt+R moves the cursor to this field.
Note that some versions of Windows do n ot automatically show the mnemonics
on the menu. For example, you might n eed to hold dow n the Alt key w hile the
tool is selected in order to see the mnemonics on the menus and buttons. In
