<desc>Navigate around <app>Terminal</app> menus using keyboard keys.</desc>
</info>
<title>Keyboard accessibility</title>
<note style="important">
<!-- 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>
<p>In the sidebar, select <gui>General</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Check <gui style="checkbox">Enable mnemonics</gui>.</p>
</item>
</steps>
</section>
<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>
<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>
<p>In the sidebar, select <gui>General</gui>.</p>
