Ian, Try just pressing space next time! It most often does work, and is the way to access many controls! You'll find that simple things just do usually work. I agree with your suggestion for modifying the Option key to open the menu bar though.

I have to say it would be good if they could create a way where like jaws the option key could become like a windows key and take you in to all the menues that way and give the controle key some of the commands that you would need voice over keys for. although i have got use to the voice over keys it is slightly anoying to have to hold them down just to move around a web sight. forinstance if you are highlighted on a check box with jaws all you have to do is press space bar how ever if you are on with voice over you have to hold them two keys down before pressing space. How ever as i said to a friend of mine on the phone the other week i do not regret making the switch to the mac and do find it in a lot of ways better to use than windows. it would just be nice if they could modify voice over a bit to make it easyer to use. sorry if this has been a bit of a ramble hope that people understand what i am getting at.
