DropDown Menu The available options are grouped into logical
collections and the group names are displayed horizontally on the menu bar.
Typically, these menus are attached to a Window. DropDown menus can have toolbars and can
moved to any position within the application depending on the application settings.

Accelerator key.

Shortcut Key Allows quicker access to menu items than
an Accelerator key. This functionality is beneficial to Keyboard
users. A shortcut key can be any alphabet with
combinations of Shift/Alt/Ctrl keys.
