In custom Tables, Views, and Filters, if you do not specify an accelerator key, the first letter of the Table, View, or Filter name acts as the accelerator key.

Accelerator keys are defined by placing an ampersand character (&) before the desired letter in the Table, View, or Filter’s name.

If you have not specified a defined accelerator key for a menu item and that menu item’s first letter is an already-defined accelerator key, then pressing that key selects the menu choice with the defined accelerator key.

If two menu selections both have the same first letter, pressing that letter activates the first selection in the list.
