Faster way to expand submenus using keyboard Consider the nested menus structure (from Intellij) as shown in the screenshot:


Using the right arrow key will cause the Find submenu to expand. But the right arrow key is inconvenient/slow to reach.  

In Linux/Windows the Menu actually opens automatically: is there some faster key combination  - than the awkward ^F2-&lt;E&gt;-&lt;F&gt;-&lt;Right Arrow Key&gt; way to nudge OS/X to "move along" a bit faster?

Note: Intellij has over 150 menu items so comments/answers like "Why not use Hotkeys?" are naive/impractical.
Why don't you use hotkeys from that menu? ⌘F, ⌘R etc.
