On sites that use a sub menus I find myself always having to use the mouse to hover/click the menu root to pull down the rest of the menu. How can I do this without having to use the mouse?

An example site on the "Morrowind Overhaul" link. When I use the f key to hit the link it goes to a different page rather than offering the sub-menu such as when you hover your mouse over it.

Another example on the "Genre", "Section", and "Sort By" menus. When I use the f key on those it does nothing.

  • +1 on this. Another good example is getting the hover text for xkcd. You might think that the focus and hover command ";;" from the extended hints mode will work; alas, not. I suspect what we're after is focus and hover in caret mode. – J0hnG4lt Jan 03 '14 at 15:03

It has already been suggested in 2009 to implement this feature.

Apparently, it has as of today not yet been implemented. In my case using ;; to focus a hint doesn't work because it doesn't generate a mouseover event.
