Checklist

• [x] I looked at https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/wiki/FAQ to see if my question has already been answered.
• [x] I performed a search in the issue tracker for similar issues using keywords relevant to my problem, such as the error message I got from the log.
• [x] I clicked the 'Log' button or pressed Ctrl-L in Rufus, and copy/pasted the log into the line that says <FULL LOG> below.
• [x] The log I am copying is the FULL log, starting with the line Rufus version: x.y.z - I have NOT removed any part of it.

Additionally (if applicable):

• [ ] I ran a bad blocks check, by clicking Show advanced format options then Check device for bad blocks, and confirmed that my USB is not defective.
• [ ] I also tried one or more of the following:
  • [ ] Using a different USB drive.
  • [ ] Plugging the USB into a different port.
  • [ ] Running Rufus on a different computer.
• [ ] If using an image, I clicked on the (✓) button to compute the MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 checksums, which are therefore present in the log I copied. I confirmed, by performing an internet search, that these values match the ones from the official image.

Issue description

If possible, I suggest adding mnemonics to the buttons of Rufus (letter in text is underlined, button can be "clicked" by Alt+letter). This will particularly help people using Narrator, as the narrator reads the keyboard shortcuts of a button. Pressing, for example, Alt+S for Start instead of navigating through each UI element can save quite a bit of time when you have to listen to the description of every UI element in order to find the right one.

Edit: Microsoft seems to call these access keys.

That's a good suggestion. I'll see if I can implement that, but I'm afraid this will be low priority, and it may have to wait until the next UI redesign (which may be years away).

That should be a simple issue within the Compiler. With the Button Caption Text, add an Ampersand at the access-character.

e.g. "Start" make that "&Start" for Alt+S

"File Load" make that "File &Load" for Alt+L

"Create" make that "Cre&ate" for "Alt+A

If you need an Ampersand as real text, then use "This && That" for "This & That"

@FlailAway remember that Rufus is available in many languages which will all need vetting in case of key clashes, etc, hence the low priority.

Yes, there was a Pull Request going in that direction, but it's not that simple and I had to reject it, for the reasons explained here...
