Subject:Re: Shortcut vs. Accelerator keys From:Becca Price <rp51 -at- CHRYSLER -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 5 Jun 1997 10:15:51 -0400
Whether you use Ctl+ or Alt+, they're all accelerator keys - but MS
calls them shortcut keys, so what the hey. And seems to me that, long
ago (back in the DOS days) there was a program called Quick Keys that
allowed you to define shortcut keys for yourself for any application...
or was that in the days when i used a Mac? ah, well... memory fades.
whateverer you call them, use the same term for either Ctl+ or Alt+...
to use different terms would be confusing, I should think.
