Er, what?!? macOS is still not able to let you navigate menus with shortcuts. I can't even reliably open the File menu on macOS with my keyboard. It's been "Alt-f" on Windows for over two decades.

yep or `⌘?` and then `Tab` to cycle, if arrow keys are too far

Sadly the text field grabs first responder, so the tab key gets redirected there until you escape it.

With keyboard shortcuts fully enabled, you can hit Ctrl-F2 f <Enter>.
