Dont think so. The Apple menu is hardly used so theres no shortcut that i know of.

i think it is supposed to be control + F2, then navigate with the arrow keys

 

[capoditutti]

command + F2 doesn't bring up any menu at all - does nothing on my machine...

According to ScottyK9 its CONTROL + F2. It highlights the apple. Then just press Enter or the down arrow.

Works on mine. You are pressing CONTROL and not COMMAND arent you?

on my machine it now works by pressing CTRL+Fn+F2 - even from within an application... trial and error.. won't work direct with control F2, that just messes with the brightness

Well you didnt say you were on a laptop 😛

To use the function keys i.e. F1, F2 etc you need to press Fn too. 😉
