Nice tricks, keep them coming ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) YouTube was just one year old when google bought it in 2006 and it was peeking up , one of the best tech buy of this decade. You are right that Google is innovating and providing so many services for free but nothings comes for free as we all know so we are compromising our privacy. if you are ok with it than Google is best out there otherwise there are enough reason to criticize Google.

As far as I know It just takes you to the menu and underlines the combination of shortcut keys that you can use with Alt key. like pressing alt in control panel will take you to menu bar and will underline keys that you can use as combination with Alt.
