Quickly jump to menu items

If you’ve ever yawned while scrolling your mouse down a lengthy menu, then here’s a tip that should wake you up. You can press the first letter of any menu item to instantly highlight that selection.

This comes in handy for menu items that lack a listed keyboard shortcut. Of course, you still have to press the Return key but if you prefer the keyboard to the rodent, this tip is worth remembering. Take note though; if there are multiple menu items starting with the same letter, you’ll need to type in the first couple of letters in those instances.
