Bug Description
I saw several requests to activate the menu via keyboard. I'm pretty new to Ubuntu and wanted the same thing. Despite Python and DBus being disasters, I got something working.
The patch to cmindicator.py exposes a method via DBus, and then the external script (which you can bind to a key via your favorite method) calls the method via DBus, popping up the menu at the current cursor position.
For my purposes, that's perfect, but it would probably make more sense to open the indicator's menu as if you had clicked on it. I couldn't figure out how to do that.
It's be no means elegant, but it does the job.
