How can I open menu items using the keyboard?

How To
1

I’d like to use my keyboard instead of the mouse to access menu items in Komodo. A Windows standard is that the ALT key activates the menu bar. The underscore that appears under each menu item indicates the hot key: alt-f to open the file menu, alt-e to open the Edit menu, and so on. This works as I expect in Komodo 8.5. It does not work in 10.0. Is this just my configuration or have the keys been changed?

Thanks,
G

The ALT menu works fine for me. What happens when you press it?

I just restarted Komodo and tried again. Now it’s mostly working. The only problem is that the menu’s are not selected when I press ALT. I thought this might just be a color scheme setting but I’m still not seeing anything change visually when I press ALT after changing it to Ashes_Dark.

You’re right there is no way to arrow through the first level of menu’s, you’ll have to press the corresponding letter key (which is underlined).
