Shortcuts that Windows users miss a lot on Mac OS X are the Alt key accelerators forapplications. Mac OS has them, but they're based on incremental search rather than explicitkey relationships. The Ctrl-F2 key moves focus up to the menu bar, and you can type the firstpart of the menu item you want. When it's highlighted, hit Enter and start incrementally typingthe enclosed menu item. It sounds complicated, but it works beautifully, and it works acrossall applications. You can also use CtrloF8 to move the focus to the far right of the menu bar,where all the services icons live.

My biggest problem with this was the cumbersome gymnastics needed to invoke Ctrl-F2, so Iused the standard Mac OS X keyboard shortcut dialog to remap it to Ctrl-Alt-Apple-Spacebar(which sounds even worse, but they all line up, so it's an easy combination to hit). Plus, myQuicksilver invoker is mapped to Apple-Enter, so all my "meta" navigation is mapped to moreor less the same general area.

If you are using the latest version of Mac OS X, choosing menu items is even easier. One ofLeopard's help features finds menu items for you when you type the name (or just part of thename). This is a great way to access menu items that live in deeply nested menus, ones whosenames you remember but whose locations evade you, and things that you think the applicationshould do but you don't know where the functionality lives. If you hit the Apple-？ key, thehelp search option will appear. Type any part of the menu item name you want, and Leopardwill highlight it for you and invoke itif you hit Enter. As is the case with much keyboard magic,it is harder to explain than to do (Figure 2-6).
