OS X menu keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl-F2 and Shift-Command-?
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/02/04
So I don’t forget:
Often, Ctrl-F2 (^-F2) fails to show the menu, but ⇧ ⌘ ? (shift+command+/) works all the time.
You can navigate the menus in the menu bar without using a mouse or trackpad. To put the focus in the menu bar, press Control-F2 (Fn-Control-F2 on portable keyboards). Then use the key combinations listed below.
Key combination What it does Left Arrow and Right Arrow Move from menu to menu Return Open a selected menu Up Arrow and Down Arrow Move to menu items in the selected menu Type the menu item’s name Jump to a menu item in the selected menu Return Select a menu item
