Keyboard shortcut to open Mac menu Is there a keyboard shortcut I can use to open the Apple menu? The closest thing I can find in the Apple documentationis pressing Command + Shift + ? which opens the help menu (if one exists).

I'm open to suggestions that incorporate the use of third party apps like BetterTouchTool.
By default, Ctrl-F2 will move focus to the menu bar, placing it initially on the Apple Menu (but not opening it&mdash;you'll then have to press Space or down arrow to do that). 

You can find/change this shortcut in the Keyboard System Preferences > Shortcuts tab > Keyboard section.
