haiku/docs/userguide/en/preferences/prefs-menu.html
Joachim Seemer e564a3c1f7 * Added more CSS control for menus, buttons, app names, shell commands, paths.
* Always wanting keyboard graphics for shortcuts, Jorge suggested simple borders
  for simplicity. Great idea! Added.
* Added Jorge's rounded boxes for note/warning/stop plus symbols.
* If anyone wants to fine tune esp. colours, go ahead. Jorge and I are both
  challenged in that department. :)
* A few small corrections and reformatting here and there.
* Excluded the topic "Installation" from the contents until it's further along.

<p>You can change the font face and size used in menus, as well as the color of the menu/menubar.</p>
<p><span class="menu">Always Show Triggers</span> will always underline the letter for the keyboard shortcut of a menu item. If you don't activate this option, the underlining will only appear when...????</p>
<p>With the last items in this preference panel you set the system wide shortcut key. Either the Haiku default <span class="key">ALT</span> or the <span class="key">CTRL</span> key used on some other platforms.<br />
While it's useful to have always the same modifier key for shortcuts across different operating systems, don't dismiss Haiku's default too quickly. After you get used to it, it actually feels better as e.g. <span class="key">ALT</span>&#160;<span class="key">C</span> and <span class="key">ALT</span>&#160;<span class="key">V</span> 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 <span class="key">CTRL</span>&#160;<span class="key">C</span> quits the running process.</p>
<table summary="layout" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td><span class="button">Defaults</span></td><td>&#160;</td><td>resets everything to default values.</td></tr>
<tr><td><span class="button">Revert</span></td><td>&#160;</td><td>brings back the settings that were active when you started the Menu preferences.</td></tr>
