Menus overlap/hide Menu Extras. How to access? [duplicate]

I've searched far and wide for a way to do the same thing. The best I can come up with is an app called AccessMenuBarApps.


I don't know any way to do this, so I usually switch to finder.

Note that some extras can be dragged on the menubar while holding down command; this might get some extras that you need in an app with long menu lists accessible from there.


Note: See Keyboard icons & terminology if any of this is confusing to you.

This may not be a working answer (see below), but it's too big and format-laden for a comment. I notice there's a default shortcut of ^ F8 (and in many cases, Fn ^ F8) which let's you "Move focus to status menus".

Having said that, in my tests with it, I can't seem to move left of MenuMeters, which means that, for me, Last.fm, Sparrow, Alfred, LittleSnitch, Dropbox, Divvy, and GeekTool's menus cannot be manipulated in this manner. Given that it ends at MenuMeters, I'm curious if that's just a bug. Try Fn ^ F8 or ^ F8 (as necessary), use your left and right arrow keys, and see if this solves your issue?
