Most menu items have keyboard shortcuts, which you can use when or if you prefer not to access them with the mouse. First access the dropdown menu by pressing the <Alt> key, and then pressing a key as the underscored letter in the menu name you want to access. Next select a menu item from the dropdown menu by pressing the hot key again as the underscored letter in the item name. For example, press <Alt+f> for the File menu. Then press o to access the Open item. (In all FELIX documents, this is abbreviated as <Alt>+fo.)
You can figure out the other shortcut keys from the underscores in the menu names and menu items, so there is no need to provide an exhaustive list in this chapter.
Some menu items have accelerators, which usually consist of the <Ctrl> key and a letter (as shown in the tables below).
Accelerators are not based on the menu hierarchy, so they are not as obvious, but they are more convenient, since they are accessed by a single keystroke, e.g., <Ctrl>+o to open a file.
The following accelerator keys are accessed by pressing the <Ctrl> key and another letter simultaneously. Please note that they are effective only when a spectral frame (rather than a table frame) is active.
<Ctrl+i> View/Plottype/Intensity
<Ctrl+c> View/Plottype/Contour
<Ctrl+s> View/Limits/Set Limits
<Ctrl+f> View/Limits/Full Limits
The following functions are accessed by pressing only the key indicated (it is not necessary to press the <Alt> or <Ctrl> key). Note the numbers are keypad numbers (not from the keyboard), and they are effective only when a spectral frame (instead of a table frame) is active.
