8.6  KEYBOARD ACCELERATORS

Experienced users will tell you that certain things can be done faster with keyboard accelerators.  For example, using the View | Find Bus By Name command with the mouse means moving the mouse to the View menu, clicking on the menu and selecting the Find Bus By Name command.  You can do the same thing by striking the ‘F’ key.

The keyboard-accelerator equivalent of a command, if available, is shown directly on the pop-up menu.  For example, on the View | Find Bus By Name command, you will see:  “Find Bus By Name         F “

The accelerators for the various windows are listed below.  (You can use either upper or lowercase characters.)
