        !            79: \b0 \
        !            80: \
        !            81: The main consideration in deciding which commands should have keyboard alternatives is frequency of use.  It's better to assign a keyboard alternative to a frequently used command than to one that's used less often.  Infrequently used commands should never be assigned keyboard alternatives, the Info Panel (or Info) command in particular.\
        !            82: \
        !            83: It's usually a good idea to assign keyboard alternatives to commands that are needed while working on the keyboard (for example, the commands in the Find menu).  The keyboard alternative frees users from having to switch their attention from the keyboard to the mouse and back again.\
        !            84: \
        !            85: Keep in mind, however, that some keyboard alternatives enable proficient users to work with one hand on the keyboard and the other on the mouse.  For example, Command-x, Command-c, and Command-v allow users to select with the mouse while carrying out cut, copy, and paste operations from the keyboard.  These keyboard alternatives free users from having to move the cursor out of the region where they're working just to click a command.\
        !            86: \
        !            87: If keyboard alternatives are assigned to any in a set of parallel commands for formatting or viewing data (e.g., commands that sort a list of items in various ways), the command that restores the default should also be assigned a keyboard alternative.  The keyboard can then take the user to an alternative format and back to the default, rather than just half way.
