[GNC] Switch to Account that a Transfer is from by Keyboard

[Adrien Monteleone]

David,

The underlines you are referring to are called mnemonics. They are not visible by default. Once you press the activator key (`Alt` on Windows/Linux `Command` on Mac) you will see them. On Mac, I noticed the menu does not redraw while being displayed, so I had to click elsewhere to close the menu and then right-click again, and the underlines were then visible.

This is a shame because it makes them less discoverable.

Note, I don’t see any mnemonics in the main menus, probably because most of those entries have their own accelerators. (which are faster to use than opening a menu and then using a mnemonic)

Here is some more info: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GTK3#Restoring_Visible_Mnenomics

I just did a search of the Help file and I do not see any documentation on the context menu or any mnemonics.

Regards,
Adrien
