None of my drop down menus in templot have the accelerator key letters underlined, effectively making them unavailable. This is ver 0.91c under Windows 7. Other Windows programs have the usual underlinings. I cant see a way of re-enabling them in Templot so help requested |

If you want them to be always visible you need to change this setting on your computer: 2_130338_380000000.png  Untick that box to make the underlines always visible. To get to that dialog, right-click on a blank area of the Windows desktop, then click Properties. Click the Appearance tab and then the Effects button. In practice I often find it faster to use the arrow keys to navigate the menus.  Press and release the ALT key to focus the menu bar, then run along and down on the arrow keys. Press the ENTER key when you get to the required menu item. If you have your keyboard set for rapid key repeat, this method can be very quick. regards, Martin. |

Ta for instant guidance to the solution! In Win7 to access the control of accelerator underlines is very different to your recipe, but you pointed me in the right direction. It seems unreasonable and misled me in that other progs overrode the fact that this function was off in Win7! In Win7, rtClick desktop-Personalise-ease of access center-make keyboard easier to use-make it easier to use kbd shortcuts. Enabling this made them work in Templot too. Your suggestion to enable them by the Alt key does NOT work in Win7, it just closes the dropdown list.  |
