Thank you, John, but it doesn't work for Status Items; not for me. True, in System Preferences ▸ Keyboard ▸ Keyboard Shortcuts, I can create a keyboard shortcut for any menu item with a name in the *main* menu. And the keyboard shortcut is even shown in that menu. But it does not work for the menus attached to non-Apple Status Items. For example, I have a Dropbox Status Item. The first item in its menu is "Open Dropbox Folder". I just assigned this the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌥⌘O. But the keyboard shortcut "⇧⌥⌘O" is *not* showing in the Dropbox Status Item, and when I type ⇧⌥⌘O, all that happens is a system alert beep. Actually, even if it did work, that's not what I want. Because my status item's menu is populated dynamically, I want users to be able to navigate through it with the arrow keys, like I can do with the Apple Status Items after hitting the F8 key. Maybe there is a reason why Apple does not want non-Apple Status Items to be accessible to non-mouse-users. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
