No, they are completely different.
A Shortcut menu is a context or application menu, like what you may be familiar
with on Windows.
Menu Extras is similar to the Windows System Tray, or Notification area as it
is now known in Windows 10. It is located on the far right end of the MenuBar,

Is Menu Extras different from shortcut menu?
If yes, are both of them activated with VO-Shift-m?

Hi,
I was able to partially duplicate your issue when I used ctrl-f8. Once focus
moved up to the Menu Extras, only one item was available. To fix this, I let
go of the VO keys, then pressed the right arrow, then pressed the VO keys once
again and was able to navigate normally in the Menu

Hi,
Are you using VO-left/right to move through the Menu Extras? Menu Extras is a
different animal, and does not allow simple arrow navigation. You must also
use VO-space to activate. This behaviour is different than in the regular
menus, but has been this way for quite a number of MacOS

The page up and page down keys do exactly what their names suggest, but this is

Hello Jonathan,
I use those general commands a lot.
Ctrl-F2 - Apple menu.
Ctrl-F3 - Dock.
Ctrl-F5 - Tool bar.
Ctrl-F8 - Menu extras.
Beware of Ctrl-F1 as it toggles keyboard access on and off. Here we disable
that command then use the same keystroke for Speak selected text.
I find it useful

I always say vo+M, so hold down your voiceover keys, ctrl+option. While

For various reasons, most particularly the use of Internet Recovery, I suggest
getting yourself an Ethernet adaptor regardless.
As to your question, though, although I know the menu extras are accessible
from within a fully-booted live system, I’m not sure that the same holds true
FileVault login prompts are announced only on recent Macs. On older Macs you
get the beeps. The reason is that the login window isn’t an OS X app but is
loaded from the booter partition by the firmware directly. Once you log in the
main system will come up speaking.

Hi all, I just read this little tip in Cult of Mac.
If you want some of the icons gone from your menu Extras Bar, here's an easy
fun way to do it.
1. VO-MM, to get to the menuBar.
2. VO-Right Arrow to get to the icon you want to get rid of. For this example,
we'll get rid of bluetooth.
3. VO
