MenuBar "root" short cut?

[GronbergInfo]

Hi, i just started using TUI and TGD, i added a menu bar, the default File has a working F9 shortcut, but when i add another top level menu, i cannot find a way to add like F10 to this top level menu. I have tried 1 left click on the top level menu, pressing Ctrl+T, added F10, but then F10 got assigned to a child menu item instead.

I have looked in the MyView.cs and MyViewDesigner.cs and cannot find the F9 shortcut for the file menu and how its done.

Thanks for raising this issue. F9 is the key to open the menu bar in general rather than a specific menu. It is a setting in the main Terminal.Gui library. I added the text to the File menu as a hint so users know what button to press.

I will have a look later and see if there is a way to to assign a shortcut to open the other menus but I think its not possible currently.

Thanks for the reply. Its probably not much to "work around" the stuff by "only" get to yse F9 to get th menu, i saw one can use short cuts in sub menus instead.
