I use the Alt key to access menu items all the time in Windows. As far as I know, this isn't possible in most Mac applications. To get to a menu item, you have to use the mouse. Sure, some menu items also have Command shortcuts, but not all of them.
I do like the general theme of Ctrl being used for system-wide shortcuts, while Cmd is (mostly) reserved for applications. I just wish menu items had a letter underlined...

- function_seven 8y agoThanks. TIL about [CTRL]+[F2]. The menu items don't have the little underlined letter to indicate the key, but this is pretty close. First letter does it. Just have to select, then arrow down to display, before continuing.
