I noticed, that although I can point a letter using "-underline" option - menu of the ttk::menubutton doesn't get pulled down, while pressing <Alt> and the key of such underlined letter (no such problem while using f.e. notebooks). Is it a bug - or from some reason it's meant to be so? -- ZB

The -underline option only affects the display; you still need to add keyboard bindings by hand. Tk has a built-in binding on the "all" bindtag that handles <Alt-KeyPress> accelerators for core [menu] and [menubutton] widgets, but it doesn't know about any other widget types. One way to add an accelerator is to do something like: ttk::menubutton $top.mb -text Foo -underline 0 bind $top <Alt-KeyPress-f> [list event generate $top.mb <<Invoke>>] You can also use the keynav package [*] to enable accelerators for all widgets in a toplevel: package require keynav keynav::enableMnemonics $top keynav is included in Tile, also available as a separate extension for 8.5 here: <URL: http://tile-extras.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/tile-extras/keynav.tcl --Joe English
