A keyboard accelerator allows you to select a menu command or button by pressing ALT+<single letter>. For example, to open the Edit menu, press ALT+E. You can rearrange and modify toolbar buttons, menus, and menu commands by using the Customize dialog box. Instructions are provided for changing the settings using the mouse and using only the keyboard.

Keyboard accelerators for stored procedures using the Ctrl key can be created from the Keyboard page of the Tools/Options dialog box.
