ABSTRACT:
A method and system for rapidly accessing viewable graphic icons displayed in a graphic interface within a computer system, wherein the viewable graphic icons are normally selected utilizing a pointing device. Initially, the graphic objects are displayed within the graphic interface, such that the viewable graphic icons may be manipulated by a user to initiate the performance of application functions. An associated accelerator object comprising one or more designated keystrokes, is then displayed proximate to each viewable graphic icon, wherein the associated accelerator objects and/or any "flyover" help, when activated by the user, initiate the performance of application functions associated with the viewable graphic icons, such that any one of the application functions may be rapidly and efficiently selected without the use of a pointing device or searching for accelerator objects maintained in hidden regions within the graphic interface.
