Skipping Menus With Hotkeys - Compaq Armada 7700 Reference Manual

Skipping Menus with Hotkeys

Hotkeys are preset, two-key combinations that take you directly to
frequently used functions.
The function keys used in hotkey combinations have blue icons on
them that represent their hotkey functions.
When you press some hotkeys, a popup window appears. To close
a popup window, press the hotkey again.
Hotkey combinations work only on the computer keyboard, not on
an external keyboard.
