Tkinter menus from keyboard

[MartinRinehart]

Tkinter defaults to, for example, Alt+f = File (if File is your first
menu name starting with "f").

I'd like to assign my own letters and have them underscored, per the
universal standard. Can this be done?

Set the underline option to the index of the desired letter

Elegant simplicity in the dropdowns. Thanks!

Now, how about main menu underscores?

BTW, this "standard" is not universal at all: e.g, there is no such
convention on Macs. Not (only...) nitpicking: if your application has to
run on a Mac, it may look weird if you use this option... But I never
tested how it was handled on Macs.

My $0.02...

Thanks for the info. It's standard on Windows and Linux/KDE. GNOME,
anyone?
