## Organizing Actions

### Keyboard Shortcuts

While it's not directly possible to assign arbitrary keys to action groups, you can use the keyboard shortcut to trigger the action group _menu_ Alt+A in combination with another character from the action group name. Simply decide on the character and prefix it with **`&`**. You can then use Alt+A and the character to trigger the action group.

An example action group **`&Uppercase`** can be triggered by Alt+A plus U.

### Submenus in the Action Group menu

If you use the **`#`** in your action group name, Mp3tag uses anything before the `#` as name for a submenu and anything after as a menu item in that menu. By that, you can organize action groups that belong together.

An example action group **`Default values#Set COMMENT`** would create a submenu **`Default values`** and would list the action group **`Set COMMENT`** within this menu.

> **Pro tip** : you can combine both tips, e.g., **`&Default values#Set &COMMENT`** to trigger the action group by pressing Alt+A plus D plus C.
