The Menu Bar

The top menu bar — File, Edit, View, Tools, Versions, Window, Help — can be driven entirely from the keyboard:

  • Alt+letter mnemonics drop a menu down without touching the mouse: Alt+F File, Alt+E Edit, Alt+V View, Alt+T Tools, Alt+S Versions (Versions uses S since View already claims V), Alt+W Window, Alt+H Help.
  • Arrow-key navigation once a menu is open: Up/Down moves the highlighted item within the open dropdown, wrapping at the ends; Left/Right switches to the adjacent top-level menu, also wrapping, and auto-focuses its first item.
  • Nested submenus — including View > Theme, Window > Layouts, and File > Export Manuscript… when more than one folder holds the Manuscript role — are keyboard-navigable too: Right/Enter on a focused trigger opens the submenu and focuses its first item, Up/Down move within it, and Left backs out to the parent menu without closing it.
