An access key gives you access to a command by pressing a specific key on the keyboard. Access keys appear on the menu with an underline under the shortcut letter. For example, to open the File menu, the access key is F.
Opera automatically generates access keys for the menus, but sometimes they are hard to remember. To change access key, add the ampersand symbol (&) before the letter you want to use as a shortcut in the menu item name. You can modify either menu configuration file or language file.
