Hello,
I may be asking for a flame, but I'd like to be able to access all menu's and dialog buttons via the keyboard. Windows has ALT key combinations like ALT+F to access the file menu. Has anyone written a app that will allow this sort of functionality on a Mac (OSX or 9)?

Is this even possible with the Mac OS?

In case you are wondering, I have an RSI and am trying avoid using pointing devices.

Thanks for any suggestions.

You aren't going to get that unless you modify the Cocoa Libraries. If you really have some type of a problem with choosing stuff from menu's then use Interface Builder and assign a key combo to every command that you use. (for apps that use nib files) It'd be a pain trying to remember all those commands but at least you wouldn't need to use the mouse.
