Subject: Accelerator keys for menus

Are accelerator keys for menus available on GNU/Linux?

On w32 if you put a single & before a letter in the menu text the next 
letter will be underlined and it works as an accelerator. Then you only 
have to type that letter to choose that alternative once the menu is 
active. It is quite useful if you are a keyboard user and wants to acces 
the menus. I believe that it is also recommended in 508 for 
accessibility (but I am not quite sure). Nearly all w32 programs use 
this. It is easy to implement of course.

Is there anything like this on GNU/Linux that can be used for the menus?
