A little thing that I've noticed

It would be great if I could get to the Export menu item via keyboard.  I
know you mac users don't care so much as the menu isn't accessible via
keyboard (that I'm aware of), but as a windows and X-Window user, I get
really irritated when I can't just do something like Alt,F,E,S to export to
STL, especially when all of the keys are there except for E for Export. GAH!
:/

In fact, it would be nice to have keys for most, if not all, menu items.
It's a little thing, but a great thing.

This has been discussed earlier (http://forum.openscad.org/The-recent-talk-on-Accessibility-had-me-look-at-menus-td7320.html), but it didn’t get updated. I’ve gone through the menus and updated all mnemonics, so this is fixed in the latest master.

If you’re in a position to build OpenSCAD, please give it a spin. Otherwise, wait a few days for the next update.

Thanks kintel,

I'm pretty busy at the moment with work and life, so I'll wait till the
build comes out.  But if you could tell me or point me in the direction of
how to build on a Windows system, I'd be interested in learning. :)

It’s still work in progress, but this is pretty current:
