maybe with

,----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| <f10> runs the command menu-bar-open, which is an interactive compiled Lisp
| function in `menu-bar.el'.
|
| It is bound to <f10>.
|
| (menu-bar-open &optional FRAME)
|
| Start key navigation of the menu bar in FRAME.
|
| This function decides which method to use to access the menu
| depending on FRAME's terminal device.  On X displays, it calls
| `x-menu-bar-open'; on Windows, `w32-menu-bar-open' otherwise it
| calls `tmm-menubar'.
|
| If FRAME is nil or not given, use the selected frame.
