<p>These keys will only have an effect in windows in which the menubar is
|
|
set to be visible.</p>
|
|
<p>Right click in the <app>Terminal</app> window and select
|
|
<gui style="checkbox">Show Menubar</gui> to display the menubar.</p>

</note>

<p>You can navigate the <app>Terminal</app> menu using a combination of keys
|
|
that are called <em>mnemonics</em> or a special key that takes you directly
|
|
to the first menu in the menubar which is called the <em>menu accelerator
|
|
key</em>.</p>
|
|
|

<section id="mnemonics">

|
|
|
|
<p><app>Terminal</app> menu can be accessed by combining the <key>Alt</key>
|
|
key and a letter of the menu item. The letter that you need to use to
|
|
access the menu will be underlined when you hold down the
|
|
<key>Alt</key>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, view the <gui style="menu">Edit</gui> menu using
|
|
<keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>E</key></keyseq>. Similarly, you can access
|
|
<gui style="menu">File</gui> menu using
|
|
<keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>F</key></keyseq>.</p>
