The mouse provides a convenient and intuitive way to move
around the NExS display and menus. As you become more
familiar with NExS you may wish to use shortcuts that
make routine operations much faster.
NExS provides two faster methods for many operations:
-
keyboard accelerators execute menu selections with
simple key combinations, whether or not the menu is
displayed.
A keyboard accelerator is a key or key combination
that invokes a menu selection without displaying the
menu. Not every menu selection has a keyboard
accelerator. Those that do are marked with the
accelerator key or key combination on the menu.
-
mnemonics execute menu selections with a single
keystroke while that menu is displayed.
A mnemonic is a single character that provides a
shortcut for making selections from the keyboard.
Mnemonics are usually the first character of a command
and are always marked on the menu with an underscore.
While a menu is displayed, simply press the mnemonic
character.
