You can use the keyboard to easily enter information, open menus, and make selections from menus.

Menus

To open a menu, press alt and the underlined letter in the menu name.

For example, to open the File menu, you would press alt+f.

Commands

To invoke a command on an opened menu, press the underlined letter of the command name.

For example, with the File menu opened, press L to load view.

Tip: You can also use the up or down arrow key to highlight a command from any opened menu and then press enter to invoke it.
