"Control-Fn-F2, or Control-F2 if you use F1, F2 etc. as standard function keys.
System Preferences » Keyboard and Mouse » Keyboard Shortcuts. Click the + button and follow the instructions."

"According to www.xvsxp***/misc/keyboard.php, if you hit Control-F2, you can navigate the menus just like in Windows: Left or right arrows, or type the first letter or so of a menu's name or a menu options name to select it, and enter works just like clicking the option.

As far as changing XCodes menu shortcuts, [you can just use the ""Key Binding Preferences"" in the XCode prefs dialog. developer.apple***/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/XcodeWorkspace/300-Keyboard_Shortcuts/custom_key_equivalents.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002706-SW2"
