So it seems like it's possible, in principle. Don't know if that helps.
Thank you, Martin. I have 7 non-Apple Status Items on my Mac account, and none of them are accessible via the F8 key. However, you are correct. I just installed iStat Menus from bjango.com and, indeed, its Status Items *are* accessible via F8. Furthermore, instead of being appended to the left, they take priority over all the other non-Apple Status Items. The right half of my menu bar looks like this:
| Other Non-Apple Items | iStat Menu Items | Apple Items
Apparently, bjango has figured out a trick that no one else has. I wonder if it's "legal"?
