Issue/Introduction

In a Japanese or Chinese localized CA Service Desk Manager 14.1 environment, the '$' hot key is indicated within most of the menus in the menu bar.  This behavior does NOT occur with CA SDM 14.1 English version.

On the scoreboard, the FILE, VIEW and WINDOW menus in the menu bar indicates "($)" as the hotkey. 

Is there a way to map an appropriate hotkey for them?
