ABSTRACT:
A method is described for the selection and assignment of keyboard access mnemonics and accelerator key combinations as part of the application software development process. After determining application functions and categories that require assignment, mnemonics and accelerators are assigned using pre-established recommendations, assignment rules and/or user assignment. If the assignments are made automatically, each function is first evaluated on the basis of usage likelihood and then prioritized before assignment begins in order to maximize the number and quality of successful assignments. In the alternative, assignments can be made on a function-by-function basis.
