Keyboarding on Macintosh

Ah - finally I'm starting to get more comfortable using Mac OS. What put me over the top was finally discovering how to access the menu via the keyboard. I'm a long time Windows user -- and I'm also a two handed typist. So frequently I've been highly annoyed by the inability to select menu items via the keyboard.

On Windows, you'd just type Alt+F to pop the File Menu. On Macintosh that seemed fairly impossible. Maybe it's always been possible - but I discovered the Universal Access keyboard shortcut list and I'm happy to report that you can set keyboard focus to the text menu via Ctrl+F2 and then arrow through the menus. It's slightly less direct (requires more keyboarding than in windows -- although type ahead works - such that you can press Ctrl+F2 F to get to the File Menu)

Ctrl+F1 turns on/off the following keyboard commands

Ctrl+F3 sets keyboard focus to the Dock
Ctrl+F4 appears to cycle through all visible windows (regardless of application)
Ctrl+F8 sets keyboard focus to the status icon area.

of course there's also the better known
Cmd+Tab for change application focus
Cmd+Tilde for rotating through the windows of the current application

Anyone else have a great nugget for those who shun the mouse?
