More on Mac keyboard shortcuts - navigating to the menu bar

Whilst helping a colleague work out how he could use his keyboard to change the colour of a piece of text in a Lotus Notes memo, I Googled across this rather useful blog post: -

OS Tips – Access Mac Menu Bar with your Keyboard

Following his advice, I changed the keyboard shortcut for "Move focus to the menu bar" to [`][Alt][Cmd].

Now I can "simply" press: -

[`][Alt][Cmd]
t
[Return]
c
b

to select the colour blue.

Simple !!!
