getting the menus to pop down

getting the menus to pop down

[mAineAc]

where can i get a comprehensive list of key combinations online for emacs? I
can not find anywhere information on the key combinations to use the
dropdown menus when you are in the command line. Everything I can find is if
you are in x and you click on them. I don't have x available and would like
to use the dropdown windows until I can get used to the key combinations.

You can navigate the menus in text mode using the command tmm-menubar,
which is ordinarily bound to <F10> or M-`

Look in .../share/emacs/<version number>/etc/ for the file refcard.ps
(or refcard.tex if you prefer that).

That I couldn't tell you, but they are listed within Emacs itself, of course.
Do
C-h i      (to get info) followed by 
m Emacs    (to get the Emacs menu), then
move the cursor to the line "* Key Index" (about L27) and hit CR.

In the above Key Index menu, search for "menu".  Amongst the key
sequences this will find is M-` "Menu Bar".

I believe C-x C-h will give you all of them for the C-x prefix.

C-c C-h should give you the mode specific ones.
