The Hidden Shortcut That Opens Any Menu on macOS

Most macOS users don’t know this—but you can navigate any app’s menu bar with just your keyboard.

The Shortcut: ⌘ + Shift + /

This enables full keyboard control of the menu bar.

Steps:

1. Press ⌘ + Shift + /
2. Use arrow keys to move
3. Hit Enter or Space to open items

It’s a lifesaver when:

• Your mouse stops working
• You’re trying to stay in keyboard mode
• You want precision access to app features

Use with Assignee

Map ⌘ + Shift + / as a fallback or integrate deeper with window-specific shortcuts in Assignee for specific menu actions you use often.

Final Thought

The menu bar doesn’t have to be mouse-only. Unlock it with ⌘ + Shift + /—and customize further with Assignee.
