Hi,

I'll have to post this to Milonic since I don't really know what this is, however, you can set up the menu to use the tab and arrow keys for navigation. There is a keypress module.

You would place the call for the module after the data file call.

I know how to set TAB key navigation,
but my question is how to set fast key like Alt+M,
then user can press Alt+M to jump to some menuitem.

Hi,

You cannot use Alt+Key to control the menu because the browser have already caught these keys for its own menu.

I have now added a new property for http://milonic.com/keypress.js called hotKey_F_Number - This is the function (F key) number that you want to use to activate the menu. By default I have set this is to 2 so pressing CTRL+F2 will activate the menu.

All you need to do to implement this is grab another copy of http://milonic.com/keypress.js and update it.

Hope this helps,
Andy
