What it's supposed to do ? In "windoze" and "loonix" GUIs, the ALT-F key sequence causes the far left menu of a GUI app, called "File", to drop down and display file operations, such as open, save, save as, print, exit, etc. Usually, "windoze" uses the first letter of the menu name with ALT to activate the drop-down menu. > You mean the 'oh so common' windoze behaviour is standard ?

You have way too many F keys in use ... ;-) I'm good with only one of them doing anything. > It's easy to confuse the poor user..., > windoze with this weird ALT-key behaviour is an excellent example. > So I let the user create his own keymap for everything if my way > doesn't fit his sense of logic. Many of these "standard" key sequences came from the Apple MacIntosh which M$ copied into "windoze". I.e., Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X, Ctrl-V, for cut, copy, and paste, respectively. Others could noe be considered standard, such as Alt-F for file, F3 for repeat command line, etc. Some cut, copy, paste and clipboard history via Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut,_copy,_and_paste Rod Pemberton -- Just how many texting and calendar apps does humanity need? Just how many food articles from neurotic millenials do we need?
