Ah, that’s interesting. That would make iStatMenus the first non-Apple status item that I’ve seen that was not skipped in the loop. Checking into that a little, I see that
• iStatMenus is not available in the Mac App Store.
• "iStat Menus uses MenuCracker” [1]
• MenuCracker is “[Building] a small bundle for MacOS X 10.2 in order to support menu extras in the same way they were supported in MacOS X 10.1” [2]
Does anyone know what changed in menu extras (an old name for Status Items, I guess) going from 10.1 to 10.2?
Bug Reporter is back now. I did report this bug in 2011, as 10122120, and it was immediately closed as a duplicate of 5037324, which would have been around 2007. Six years ago.
So it looks like maybe Apple is doing this on purpose, or that it is deemed *verrrry* difficult to fix. But neither one of these seems plausible to me. What possible reason could there be for restricting keyboard accessibility to only Apple items (minus Spotlight and Notification Center).
The command-tab application switcher does not skip over non-Apple apps.
What am I missing?
