Description

  1. Please add keyboard accelerators for Analytic in the Menu bar, perhaps A, to become &Analytic
  2. Please add keyboard accelerators for Create Surfaces in the Analytic option in the Menu Bar, perhaps Create &Surfaces
  3. Please add keyboard accelerators for QTAIM in the Analytic option in the Menu Bar, perhaps &QTAIM
  4. Please add keyboard accelerators for Vibrations in the Analytic option in the Menu Bar, perhaps &Vibrations

Analytic Menu Bar

  1. Keybaord accelerators could also be added to other sub-options in the Menu Bar. Did you want them listed or is this point sufficient?

What do you think?

Thank you

Research direction
Locate the menu bar definition in the Avogadro codebase (likely in a Qt GUI file). Identify where the 'Analytic' menu and its sub options are defined, and add ampersands before the chosen accelerator letters to make them keyboard accessible.
