File Menu Accelerators:
(Meta-F)

The underlined letter or number shows the shortcut that will perform the indicated action once the menu is popped up. The shortcuts in parentheses (e.g. Meta-X) show the shortcut available without popping up the menu.

Note that pressing the number 1 while the file menu is up will load the file /tmp/sample.fig in the above example.

The accelerator Shift-Meta-P will print using the previously set parameters (i.e. the print panel isn't popped up, but the figure is printed).
The accelerator Shift-Meta-X will export using the previously set paramters (i.e. the export panel isn't popped up, but the figure is exported).
