A system, method, and computer readable medium containing computer readable instructions for displaying pop-up accelerator key symbols that indicate accelerator keys that may be activated by a user to select a user selectable portion in a graphical user interface to initiate an option corresponding to the user selectable portion. When a user holds down the “ALT” key, the pop-up display includes a letter, number or other symbol that, when depressed (alone or with the “ALT” key), functions to select an option. Pop-up symbols may also be provided for selecting a group of icons and presenting symbols for each group of icons when a user selects the group symbol corresponding to that group of icons.
