Reading the list archives a little more, it looks like there may be two
ways to do this:
- _NSHighlightCarbonMenu and _NSUnhighlightCarbonMenu are SPIs which
take an NSMenu* and do exactly what you'd expect
- You can add a fake temporary menu item to your menu, with a suitably
bizarre key equivalent and no target or action. Then use NSMenu
-performKeyEquivalent: to simulate its selection.
Wow, great choices here :| I'm going to try #2 first since it's not SPI.
I'll inform the list of the results.

How can I simulate the menu-title blink effect using Cocoa? In
Carbon, it's FlashMenuBar(menuID) but I don't see a Cocoa equivalent.
NSMenuView's -performActionWithHighlightingForItemAtIndex:?
(Never used it, just looked it up...)
This is at the top of the file:
Note: NSMenuView is deprecated and is no longer used to draw
menus. Calling its methods will not affect the appearance of your menus.
I don't think this will work. Actually I don't think there is even a
way to get a valid NSMenuView* at all.
For the curious, I tried the next best thing—NSMenu's
-performActionForItemAtIndex: —and this API does not appear to
simulate the menu blink, although it arguably should.
