# Use shortcuts

Use shortcut keys to access menu commands and quickly navigate through dialog boxes. You can also use keyboard shortcuts for common OpenText Dimensions CM commands.

Tip: To quickly access the most common object commands, you can use the right-click menu. In a content window, right-click an object, and select a command from the list.

To access menu commands using shortcuts:

- To access a menu command, hold down ALT and enter the underlined letter in each menu and submenu for the command.

  For example, to select File > New > New Item, press ALT+F+N+I.

- To navigate a dialog box using the keyboard, press TAB to move focus to the next control, or press ALT and enter the underlined letter in the control name.

- To access a command using a keyboard shortcut, enter a shortcut from the following table.
