I wonder, if it would be also useful for other entries of the right click context menu: i.e. staves properties, bar properties, edit drumset... - in sense of a better accessibility (especially for visual impaired users)

In theory, there is supposed be a general way supported by the OS to invoke right click menus without actually clicking. Some keyboards have a dedicated key for this, but mine does not. Shift+F10 works on at least some Windows systems for this, but not on mine.

Sounds like what the guy doing shortcuts for GSOC should be working on. He's going to be generalizing the shortcuts already.

After having used the mouse to right click, on Windows at least going to the more dialog by keyboard only is possible using the arrow keys until you highlight the [More...] and press [Enter].
Note that presing the [Space bar] should work also but instead of pressing the Highlighted option in the menu it press options in the main rubbon. I suspect this is more a QT problem.

Please refrain to post comments not relevant to the issue. If you want to discuss about other menus etc... Just open a new forum post.
This issue is about adding a shortcut for the More... menu. I asked for a string to represent this feature in the shortcut list. Any suggestion?

Tested and approved. Very useful shortcut. Thanks. It is a pity not to have thought to add this for the 2.1. Heck!
