I emailed apple about using just arrows to move around extras menus, but this is their response. I wonder if these menus are different from normal menus visually? The use of the word "menu" led me to believe that they are the same, but now I'm not so sure. Anyway, I thought others would find this useful if they had thought of the same thing I had, namely that it is odd and frustrating to need to use vo keys with arrows and space to navigate extras menus.
