Description

Currently the menu bar has underlined letters (purely cosmetic), in most other programs you would be able to hit that button and open the corresponding menu. Then further options would have a key assigned that you could hit to open the next part. This would allow fairly smooth keyboard navigation of parts of Hydrus.

Research direction

Start by locating Hydrus's menu bar and context-menu implementation, then inspect how menu labels currently receive underlined access keys. Confirm the intended keyboard navigation path through menus and submenus. Done means the underlined keys open their corresponding menus and continue navigation through subsequent options.
