If the menu's so long that the cursor keys are inconvenient then you're stuffing to much in the menu. It takes me *longer* to recognise and hit the underlined keys than to just hit "up up up" or whatever.

I activate the menu bar by tapping ALT, and then hit "right down" to get to the edit menu, and "down down" for cut. That way I don't have to peer close to see what unobvious letter the guy who wrote the program decided to underline.There's stuff above here
