Adding Mnemonics

You can specify a mnemonic character for action controls by placing an ampersand (&) character in front of the desired mnemonic character in the text property. At runtime, the mnemonic character is underlined.

For components that can take mnemonics, there is an Intention Action Assign mnemonic that intelligently keeps track of already used mnemonics in the form and suggests a mnemonic for the current component based on what characters are already used.
