Similar to tooltips, Key tips are visual element which show the user one or more characters available to the user for activating a particular xamRadialMenu item. Use the Alt key to toggle the key tips’ Visible/Hidden state.
When visible, the key tips appear in the outer ring for each item along with a center adjacent key tip displaying the number "0" by default. The key tips for the items may be explicitly specified or can be Auto-Generated. Pressing the key tip of any item with Sub-Items displays the child items (as they would be when one clicked the outer ring button for that item) followed by a display of the child item’s key tips.
Pressing the escape key when key tips are visible will hide them. Also, pressing a navigation key or keyboard arrow key (e.g. up, down, left, right, home, end, tab) with key tips visible dismisses the key tips and enters the keyboard navigation mode.
