Right click context menu for Firefox 11.0, meaning of underlined first letters ?

[steve2470]

I know this is terribly basic but I've never learned this.

Example: Right click a web page in Firefox 11.0. You see the word Reload with the "R" underlined. What does this mean exactly ?

Thanks for your time.

1. keyboard shortcuts -- right click and then press an underlined key to perform the command

Edited to add--also works for the top menus as well, and all of those can be accessed by pressing the alt-key plus the underlined letter. So, for example, Alt-F opens the file menu and then pressing T would open a new tab.

2. It's letting you know what the keyboard shortcut is for that function

Instead of navigating the context menu you could also reload a page by pressing <Ctrl> R. Of course, F5 is even easier.

3. If you're wondering about "Reload", and not just why it's underlined ...

"Reload" means refreshing the current web page.

Often, the F5 (function5) key does the trick, same as "Reload" or "Refresh".

4. In addition to the above...

If you want to skip using the mouse at all, the menu key -



-does the same as a right click without a mouse. Maybe not so helpful in firefox as there are other keyboard shortcuts to do things, but might be useful if your mouse packs in.
