Hi Gene & Lisi!

Is it fussy which <alt>?
Yep, must be the one left of space. The other one is "alt gr"
Didn't work the first time, menu opened, but
keyboard arrows were sent
to /dev/null. Closed it, hit it again, worked. ??
And you've loaded the second recent file ..
I'll give that a shot when I'm out there making Mahogany chips again.
Tomorrow.
Thanks Nik, that sounds useable, but fixing the mouse would be even
better as its a one handed operation.
You can make "<alt>" sticky, then it's a one handed operation: TDE
control
center, "Regional settings/Accessibility", there 2. Tab "sticky
keys"
(sorry, translated from german, might be labeled otherwise), then it's:
<alt>, f, <down>, <right>, 2, <enter>
You could automate this sequence with a tool like "xbindkeys" and e.g. use
the darn capslock-key to play that sequence :-)
Another, less elegant, one-handed solution:
Click on <menu> or whatever with mouse. Move mouse well out of way in a
harmless direction. Use arrow keys on keyboard from then on.
