Label Accelerator Keys - #222

Accelerator Keys are a handy feature that lets you use the keyboard to quickly access a specific control on the screen. By adding an ampersand (&) before a letter in the caption of a label, you can create a shortcut key for that control.

To learn more about how this works, watch this video.
