Many of the options on TestGen menus and buttons have shortcuts to provide faster access to each function. Some keyboard shortcuts, such as those using the Alt key and the Ctrl key are specific to the computer operating system.
You can use the Alt key as a shortcut to display TestGen application menus. When you press the Alt key and then the underlined letter in the name of the menu, the menu opens to display the choices. Once a menu is displayed, activate any option on the menu by typing its underlined letter, if available, or select an item using the mouse. For example, to insert a question on your test, display the Insert menu by pressing the Alt key and typing I. Next, type Q because it is the underlined letter for that menu item. Press the Esc key to close the menu.
When using Windows, you may press F1 to access Help and Alt F4 to exit the program. You may use the Delete key to permanently delete the selected chapters, sections, or questions from a testbank, or to delete the selected questions from a test.
The following letters, in combination with the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Apple/Command key (Macintosh), perform these menu functions.
