I think they use A- to pop down the menu whose first letter is and then the same kind of thing to select entries inside menus (and probably A-next and A-prior to select by moving line-by-line). I believe it was chosen because it's what Motif and W32 interfaces provide (and I expect GTK to offer similar things). It has the disadvantage of relying on the presence of an Alt key which is not already used as a Meta key. This all comes from my very fuzzy memory, so I'm sure it's good several "inaccuracies". Stefan
