Getting Started

You can select a menu option in one of two ways:

1. Highlight an option using the arrow keys and press [Enter].

2. Type the first letter of a menu option.

For example, to select Develop press the [D] key. The menu opens
immediately (without pressing [Enter]).

Note: If a menu lists several options starting with the same letter, typing
the first letter always selects the first menu option (not the second).
