  2. By pressing F10. This will switch the IDE focus to the menu. Use the arrow keys can then be used to navigate in the menu, the Enter key should be used to select items.
  3. To access menu items directly, Alt- can be used to select a menu item. Afterwards submenu entries can be selected by pressing the highlighted letter, but without Alt. E.g. Alt-S G is a fast way to display the goto line dialog.

Every menu item is explained by a short text in the status bar.
