Shortcuts Button

The Shortcuts bevel button activates a pop-up menu that allows quick navigation to any mounted volume or directly to the desktop. If ejectable volumes are mounted, an Eject command (one for each volume) appears at the bottom of the menu, as shown in Figure 1-5.

Navigation Services 1.1 and later has two network connection options in the Shortcuts menu. The Network command displays all available AppleTalk zones in the browser list. The Connect to Server command displays a dialog box that prompts the user to enter a network address for an AppleShare server. The address can be entered as an IP address ("XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX") or as a domain name ("sample.apple.com").

Note: Navigation Services 1.1 and later supports directly opening a new connection to an AppleShare IP server through the Connect to Server command, but does not support direct connections to AppleTalk servers. Your application should not make any assumptions about what type of connections are available, however, since this may change in future versions of Navigation Services.
