Menu Mnemonics
Server Manager offers standard menu mnemonics. This allows you to access menu options using only a few keystrokes.
To use the menu mnemonics, use the following procedure:
1. To access the menu bar, press the ALT key when running under Microsoft Windows or press F10 when running under Motif.
2. To choose the desired menu, type the underlined character in the title of the menu.
3. To execute the desired menu command, press the underlined character in the name of the desired menu item.
Example
The following example uses mnemonics to bring up a new SQL Worksheet when running under Windows.
ALT -> F -> W
Pressing 'ALT' highlights the menu bar. Pressing 'F' pulls down the File menu. Pressing 'W' brings up a new SQL Worksheet.
