All menu items can be selected by using accelerator or mnemonic keyboard shortcuts. An accelerator is a key combination that provides shortcut access to a GUI function. A mnemonic (sometimes referred to as a “hot key”) is a single-key equivalent (used in combination with the ALT key) for selecting GUI components such as menu items. The mnemonic “hot key” letter is underlined in the GUI.
Routine functions such as opening, saving, and printing files can be performed using the standard Microsoft keyboard shortcuts. Other menu items are unique to Continuous Protection Server.
