How can I use shortcut keys for context menu items?

Question

A common workflow on a Windows or Linux PC is to right click on a link in (say) Chrome, then hit "L" to copy the URL to the clipboard.

How can I achieve this on MacOS? I don't want to have to use the mouse to select the relevant menu item.

Context menus can be navigated in Safari with keyboard shortcuts. E.g pressing C - Enter will jump to copy link.

	hmm. Extra keypress ;-) Doesn't seme to work in Chrome anyway. Thanks. – J22 Aug 13 '11 at 10:54
	It works for me in Chrome (beta channel) under Lion. It works in all Cocoa apps. I have to admit though, the implementation is a bit hit and miss and not every command has a keystroke. – dan8394 Aug 13 '11 at 11:07
