Good morning,

Does the "&" character have a special function in the text of language messages ?  
Ex :  
\_C\_MNU\_EDIT\_CUT C&ut\tCtrl+X  
\_C\_MNU\_EDIT\_COPY C&opy\tCtrl+C

Thank you ohrenkino for your response.

I thought that for shortcuts were designated with words from the end of the message.  
Example for the 2 messages cited:  
Ctrl+X for\_C\_MNU\_EDIT\_CUT C&ut\t **Ctrl+X**  
Ctrl+C for\_C\_MNU\_EDIT\_COPY C&opy\t **Ctrl+C**

These hotkeys can be accessed with the Alt key.  
So, &Edit\>C&ut  
would be accessed with Alt-E-U  
The hotkey should be unique in each context. So e.g. in the Edit menu there should not be another menu item that can be accessed with U.
