Something I just learned recently is once you have clicked on a menu heading, typing the first character of the menu choice will take you to it. The right arrow key will take you to a submenu.
For instance in Filemaker click menu Format then F - right arrow - V will take you to Font thenµ Verdana toward the bottom of the font list. I think there is some kind of key combination to click the menu header but I don’t remember what it is.
