Fifteen years have passed since I switched to Mac, and in all that time there’s only been one thing I missed from Windows: the ability to access the menu using my keyboard.
It turns out there are two ways to do this:
I discovered this from this new MacMost video:
I quite like Paletro for this. Definitely a “nice to have” though.
My favourite feature is that it remembers your most used commands which is great when for example there is something like “copy message” and “copy text” but you only ever personally use one of those.
Great tip. This should go into this thread Small things macOS can do most people don't realize
Oh, btw, I use this Menuwhere app by Many Tricks to pop up the menu bar at where my cursor is so I don’t have to traverse that far. And it has a keyboard shortcut to pop up the menu too.
I have been using Menuwhere too. A great app from the team of Moom. Saves the trip to the too. Just access it where ever you are.
I mentioned these in a different thread. I use the Alfred workflow more every day.
Yeah, it’s already there! 
+1 for @dustying recomendation for both the Alfred Workflow (as it uses Alfred’s sorting algorithm to make the sorting @Vincent_Ardern likes) and Homerow, which helps me avoid the mouse a lot!
Using my Apple Magic Keyboard that has to be control+Fn+F2. Not a feature I will need to use often but essential when both Magic Mouse and Trackpad have run out of battery charge.
But does not appear to let me move rightward to the menu bar items including Bluetooth.
What I need is control+Fn+F8. Or not as it only skips through the first three menu bar items.
Something like that seems almost a necessity for using an ultrawide monitor with a Mac, since even an app window on the far right side of the screen still has its menu on the far left end of the menubar
