shortcut for accessing tab menu in Google Chrome

On Windows and (most) Linux distros, you can use a built-in Chrome shortcut:

1. F6 once to set focus to the omnibar
2. F6 and again to set focus to the tab^*
3. (optionally Fn+) ≡ to open the tab context menu, assuming your keyboard has a key for it

^* The docs describe the shortcut as:

Switch focus to unfocused dialog (if showing) and all toolbars

which suggests you might need to click a couple of times if another browser dialog is open - for instance the camera or notification permission

Hitting F6 twice worked for me. I used this to then access the tab's right click menu (Shift+F10) to be able to access the new tab grouping features in Chrome entirely through keyboard shortcuts.

There isn't one for the menu I believe, however there are shortcuts for some of the separate actions though.

I suggest you look here: http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/static.py?page=guide.cs&guide=25799&topic=28650

Here's an AutoHotkey script for it. It binds Win+F10 to the active tab's context menu.

Replace 0xffffff with your Chrome theme's active tab color if it isn't white.

#If WinActive("ahk_exe chrome.exe")

#F10::
    WinGetPos, ChromeX, ChromeY, ChromeWidth, ChromeHeight, A
    PixelSearch, ActiveTabX, ActiveTabY, 0, 0, %ChromeWidth%, %ChromeHeight%, 0xffffff, 0, Fast RGB
    
    if (ErrorLevel = 0)
    {
        Click, %ActiveTabX%, %ActiveTabY%, Right
    }
    
    Return

#If
