Shortcut Key

[ ]

Provide the predefined shortcut key assignment for each predefined choice.

[ ]

When the user presses a shortcut key, perform the same function that would be performed if the user had activated the associated choice.

[ ]

Perform the function assigned to a shortcut key only if it is assigned within the active window.

[ ]

If the shortcut key choice is within a menu displayed from a menu bar, activate the choice if the user presses the shortcut key and the input focus is in the menu-bar system or the window that contains the menu bar.

[ ]

If the shortcut key choice is on a push button, activate the choice if the user presses the shortcut key and the active cursor is in the window.

[ ]

If the shortcut key choice is within a pop-up menu system, activate the choice if and only if that pop-up menu system is active or the pop-up menu is associated with the active cursor.

[ ]

Even if the user turns off the display of shortcut keys in a menu, continue to support the shortcut keys that correspond to the menu items.

[ ]

Do not use a printing character augmented by Alt as a shortcut key, as it would conflict with activation that uses mnemonics.

[ ]

Assign the same shortcut key for a choice in all windows that provide that choice.

[ ]

If the user can change shortcut key assignments, display the new assignments in menus and list the new assignments in any Help information provided for the shortcut keys.
