See Atanas Koralski's answer here:</p> <p><a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpf/thread/14f6f49f-0027-471b-b68c-e7f6ba012012" rel="nofollow">http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpf/thread/14f6f49f-0027-471b-b68c-e7f6ba012012</a></p> <blockquote> <p>Menu and ToolBar mnemonics work without pressing Alt key. We decided that we will have uniform behavior in all cases so access key work without pressing Alt key.</p> <p>I understand that this is not in parity with Forms and we will consider this issue and change the behavior in the next version.</p> <p>For now as a workaround you can register a class handler for all AccessKeyPressed events and handle the event if Alt key is not pressed.</p> <pre><code>EventManager.RegisterClassHandler(typeof(UIElement), AccessKeyManager.AccessKeyPressedEvent, new AccessKeyPressedEventHandler(OnAccessKeyPressed)); </code></pre> <p>...</p> <pre><code>private static void OnAccessKeyPressed(object sender, AccessKeyPressedEventArgs e) { if (!e.Handled && e.Scope == null && (e.Target == null || e.Target == label)) { // If Alt key is not pressed - handle the event if ((Keyboard.Modifiers & ModifierKeys.Alt) != ModifierKeys.Alt) { e.Target = null; e.Handled = true; } } } </code></pre> </blockquote> <p>Also see mfc2wpf's reply:</p> <blockquote> <p>I've used the above and it works. However, that prevented the default action for Enter and ESC. So I inserted the following at the top of the method.</p> <pre><code>if (Keyboard.IsKeyDown(Key.Enter) || Keyboard.IsKeyDown(Key.Escape)) return; </code></pre> </blockquote> <p>Access keys include <kbd>Enter</kbd> and <kbd>Esc</kbd>, which are the default keys for <code>Button</code>s which have <code>IsDefault = true</code> or <code>IsCancel = true</code>. If you don't want to require <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>Enter</kbd> and <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>Esc</kbd> for those buttons, you would need to add the special condition to the handler.</p>
