I know how you can assign direct shortcuts to menu items in a windows form, such as Ctrl+S or Ctrl+V. However, how do I allow the user to hit + "Alt+F+S" to save, for example? In notepad, when you hit Alt, one letter is underlined in "File", "Edit", etc., and the same applies for inside of those menus. How do I use this feature?

Use & before the letter you want to be the key.

example: W&ord = Word

You should never let your fears become the boundaries of your dreams.
