It is a feature of graphical user interface (GUI) programs known as an accelerator. When a user holds Ctrl while pressing "o," the system will send an accelerator message to the application, which in this case is mapped to the "File > Open" dialog. When using accelerators, the meta keys (Ctrl, Shift, Alt, Command, etc) key must be held down before pressing the non-meta key assigned to the accelerator, which is usually a letter, number, function key, punctuation, or white space (space bar, tab, or Enter/Return). The order in which the meta keys are held is irrelevant. For example, if an accelerator is Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, the user may hold Ctrl or Alt first, then the remaining meta-key next, and finally press the third key (Backspace). The only thing that matters for determining an accelerator combination are the meta keys that are currently held when the user presses a non-meta key.
