Many Fuelink software options can be accessed with the keyboard as well as the mouse. Where
applicable, both mouse and keyboard actions are given for a command. Many screen buttons have
labels which have a letter underlined. Pressing the key on the keyboard that correlates with the
underlined letter will activate that particular button. To activate secondary buttons, press the
underlined key while holding the [Shift] key. To activate menu bar items from the keyboard, press the
underlined key while holding [Alt].
