If by "style menu" you mean the list of environments (Standard, Title,
...), then yes.  I'm not trying to be picky here; I just want to be sure
you are referring to environments rather than text styles (italic etc.).

Alt-p followed by an appropriate character or characters selects a
particular environment.  For instance, Alt-p *3 gets you an unnumbered
subsection (assuming your document class supports that environment).

Alt-p followed by a space opens the drop-down list, after which, as you
note, typing a few letters of your environment works (or typing the
first letter repeatedly cycles through environments beginning with that
letter).

Cheers,
