To access and execute the menu options in the ADE tools:
1. Press F3 to access the menu bar for all tools except the Data Dictionary.
2. To choose a menu, do either of the following:
Type the mnemonic (the underlined letter) in the menu name. For example, type e to choose the Edit menu.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the menu name, then press RETURN.
Some menu options have predefined accelerator keys assigned to them, which let you use the keyboard to choose a menu option. Accelerator keys are function and special key combinations that let you use the keyboard to choose a menu option. If accelerator keys are assigned to an option, they appear to the right of the menu option on pull‑down menus.
In some cases, key combinations will not work if you use the ESCAPE key while the CAPS LOCK key is on.
