[RESOLVED] Accelerator keys in menu - without Ctrl, Shift or Alt
I want to add accelerator keys to my menu.
I want say "Report R" where if the user presses 'R' it will go to the Report menu.
I can have "Report Ctrl+R" but I don't want the user to have to press "Ctlr" AND "R".
Is this non standard and something I will have to program myself?
Thanks

In short - yes. It is highly non-standard. You would have to code it yourself... but to be honest, I wouldn't do it. I'd stick to a more traditional standard approach as that's what most users are going to expect.

Yes, it is non-standard, which means you'll also have to train your users to understand it.
It's better to do what 30+ years of muscle-memory has taught them.
