"action" menu shortcut

[javks]

is there any shortcut to open the "action" menu? that way i could avoid using the mouse many times

I've only been able to test this in Mac OS 10.4.11, but it may be worth a try...

Using a keyboard shortcut program such as Spark, assign a hot key to run the following AppleScript:

tell application "Finder" to activate
try
	tell application "System Events"
		tell 1st UI element of group 3 of tool bar 1 of window 1 of process "Finder"
			perform action "AXPress"
		end tell
	end tell
end try

Make sure that "Enable access for assistive devices" is checked in System Preferences > Universal Access. Good luck.
