+ <!-- see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-terminal/issues/145 -->
+ <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">
+ <title>Mnemonics</title>
+
+ <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>
+
+ <p>To enable mnemonics:</p>
+
+ <steps>
+ <item>
+ <p>Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select
+ <gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>

+ </item>

+ </item>
+ </steps>

+
+ <section id="menu-accelerator">
+ <title>Menu accelerator key</title>
+
+ <p>This setting brings up the <gui style="menu">File</gui> menu when the menu
+ accelerator key is pressed. This key is usually <key>F10</key> by
+ default.</p>
