< p > By default, Haiku's option key, to invoke commands from menus for example, is not the usual < tt > CTRL< / tt > key, but < tt > ALT< / tt > instead. This has historical reasons, because the BeOS was inspired somewhat by MacOS. After you get used to it, it actually feels better as e.g. < tt > ALT+C< / tt > and < tt > ALT+V< / tt > is reached more conveniently on the keyboard and these commands seamlessly integrate into the < acronym title = "Bourne Again Shell" > bash< / acronym > shell of the Terminal, where < tt > CTRL+C< / tt > quits the running process.< / p >
< p > In any case, you can switch to the maybe more familiar < tt > CTRL< / tt > key in the < a href = "prefs-menu.html" > Menu< / a > preferences. The user guide will always describes the default configuration with option key being < tt > ALT< / tt > .< / p >

Patch by Humdinger:
* Added docs and screenshots for preference panels:
Appearance, Backgrounds, DataTranslations, E-mail,
Filetypes, Fonts, Keyboard, Keymap, Menu, Mouse,
Network, Screen, Screensaver, Sounds, Time, VirtualMemory
Adapted some contents for E-mail preferences from
src/documentation/haiku_user_guide/HaikuUserGuide.txt
As I haven't succeeded to get email running in vmware, I'd appreciate if someone
can proof read what's written in E-mail preferences.
* Added preferences to the user guide contents.
* Various formatting details and inter-documents-links
Wow! Thanks a lot!
