I have also found that there are a number of apps that can live in the
Menu Extras that simply have no keyboard work around. In some cases
such as MenuTab Pro or Radium the developer has put in a keystroke but
in both those examples the typical Apple way of accessing the apps
doesn't work. Sometimes I get those other apps to open with the
trackpad and sometimes not. It's all tricky. Dropbox comes to mind as
a particularly annoying example of an app that doesn't work properly
in the Extras Menu from the keyboard.
