  1. Hello Joe,

    Thank you for the list of shortcuts!
    I am however missing something.. After using 'Ctrl + Shift + 8' and 'Enter' the menu is opened, but then what..?
    Do you know how to navigate into the menu and between the menu items?
    The only option I found was 'Tab', but that would require a lot of TABS before entering the opened menu.

    Looking forward hearingf rom you,
    Aniek
