NAME

       SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_ENABLE_MENU_MNEMONICS  -  A  variable controlling whether menus can be opened with their
       keyboard shortcut (Alt+mnemonic).

SYNOPSIS

       #include "SDL3/SDL.h"

       #define SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_ENABLE_MENU_MNEMONICS SDL_WINDOWS_ENABLE_MENU_MNEMONICS"

DESCRIPTION

       If the mnemonics are enabled, then menus can be opened by pressing the  Alt  key  and  the  corresponding
       mnemonic  (for  example,  Alt+F  opens  the  File menu). However, in case an invalid mnemonic is pressed,
       Windows makes an audible beep to convey that nothing happened. This is true even if  the  window  has  no
       menu at all!

       Because  most SDL applications don't have menus, and some want to use the Alt key for other purposes, SDL
       disables mnemonics (and the beeping) by default.

       Note: This also affects keyboard events: with mnemonics enabled, when a menu is opened from the keyboard,
       you will not receive a KEYUP event for the mnemonic key, and might not receive one for Alt.

       The variable can be set to the following values:

       • "0": Alt+mnemonic does nothing, no beeping. (default)

       • "1": Alt+mnemonic opens menus, invalid mnemonics produce a beep.

       This hint can be set anytime.

AVAILABILITY

       This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.
