I´d like to access a large menu by a hotkey, but the problem is, that there´s no function content in that menu button, so nothing happens. That button basically consists of an icon & a label, but no code in the "function" field. Is there some way to make the menu open like as if the button has been clicked?
I don't know of a way you can do that. You can assign a toolbar to be toggled on/off via a hotkey but I'm not aware of a way to toggle a menu button.
In the meantime i solved that by using a thrird party software, emulating that klick per hotkey, it wasn´t a big issue anyway. But you can assign hotkeys to most buttons, except menues, so this would be a nice novelty. This would close one of the last gaps in being completely capable of controlling whole Dopus per keyboard.
If you put a & symbol in a menu's label then you can open it by pressing Alt + the following letter. Eg, if the label is &File you can open the menu by pressing Alt + F.
This works on one menu here, & for some strange reason i can´t get it to work on the other, maybe because it´s hard to find an unused letter.
I noticed an interesting difference: when having the menu opened via Alt-letter, it´s not possible to change between neighbouring icons in the tool bar by pushing the L/R arrow keys, but when the menu was opened by mouse click, you can navigate between button icons, having the menu opened & then using left/right arrows, changing between different buttons. You can even push them by using Enter (except they are multi buttons, where it doesn´t seem to work for obvious reasons).
