That's ok, we all do that I normally use the menus in a program until I get
really familiar with it, and then I start using the shortcut keys. Its never
a good idea to learn shortcut keys with out exploring and using the menus
first. However, some times its necessary to use them, because there are
times that you have no other choice to get access to a particular part of a
program with jfw or any screen reader.

My goodness, you're right. I forgot. I just never hit the keys together
like that, because I'm aware that it's the Files menu that I'm opening by
hitting Alt. So I usually just hit alt, then, if I want Add to Favorites or
anything else in the files menu, I find it for myself. I'm not a hotkey
hotrodder. I prefer a little context in my operations. I know this isn't
everyone's way,especially users who've never seen menus and have not derived
their sense of an interface and its organization from that anyway, I just
forgot.
