Menus and Keyboard Accelerators

Mandala menus and keyboard accelerators are described in the following table. Pressing an accelerator key is equivalent to selecting the menu item. All accelerator keys can be used with or without the shift key (upper or lower case are both accepted). Please note that the Mandala menu also supports the standard Windows keyboard interface, where Alt-key combinations open drop-down menus, and other keys navigate though and select commands.

The X|Y syntax is used within this set of web pages in order to describe a Mandala menu. The X component names the drop-down menu, and the Y component is a choice on that menu. For example, the syntax Help|About names the About menu item choice on the Help drop-down menu.
