Hi, I try to reduce mouse usage as far as possible (health and productivity) and therefore use key shortcuts whenever possible.

Several KDE programs I'm using frequently, such as krusader and kile, highlight letters of their menu items, for example, 'F'ile and 'E'dit. I would expect that I could open those by <ALT>+F or <CTL>+F etc. However, this does not work. I'm on the i3 WM.

What am I doing wrong?

Best regards,
Robert

Shortcuts also depend on the DE , e.g. Plasma and GNOME use different shortcuts. This could be related...

Apparently you run an older version of Kile than I do (2.9.93), I see no highlighted shortcuts
