On Microsoft Windows and GTK+ you can control the mnemonics in menu titles and menu items using the initargs :mnemonic
, :mnemonic-title
(and if necessary :mnemonic-escape
).
This example illustrates the various ways you can specify the mnemonics in a menu:
(contain (make-instance 'menu :mnemonic-title "M&nemonics" :items (list (make-instance 'menu-item :data "Menu Item 1" :mnemonic #\1) (make-instance 'menu-item :data "Menu Item 2" :mnemonic 10) (make-instance 'menu-item :mnemonic-title "Menu Item &3") (make-instance 'menu-item :mnemonic-title "Menu Item !4" :mnemonic-escape #\!) (make-instance 'menu-item :data "Menu Item 5" :mnemonic :default) (make-instance 'menu-item :data "Menu Item 6" :mnemonic :none))))
This example shows two ways to specify menu title mnemonics within the :menus
option of a define-interface form. The first way, using :mnemonic
, is the most natural:
(capi:define-interface menu-bar-mnemonics () () (:panes (pane1 capi:text-input-pane :visible-min-width 200)) (:layouts (main-layout capi:column-layout '(pane1))) (:menus (menu1 "Menu One" (("Foo")) :mnemonic #\O) (menu2 nil (("Bar")) :mnemonic-title "Menu &Two")) (:menu-bar menu1 menu2)) (capi:display (make-instance 'menu-bar-mnemonics))
