A shortcut key is a single key or a combination of keys that can be used for selecting a menu item directly, without having to first open the relevant menu bar item. If you look at the Exit option on the File menu item, you can see that Alt+F4 has been added to it as a shortcut key.
A full list of available shortcut keys includes all the function keys, letters of the alphabet and the specialized Ins and Del keys. They can be used in conjunction with any combination of the Alt, Ctrl and Shift keys.
Note that for the highlighted menu item, selected shortcut keys are displayed in the box next to the menu item text.
