You can also get at the menubar through the keyboard:

alt-T W v

which looks a little unwieldy, except you don't have to move from the home keys, and I find it much easier to type than

hands up, look for fn, left middle to shift and left index to fn, right middle float up and over to f2

You can muscle memory a short menubar keyboard sequence pretty quickly if you use it enough.
