Public bug reported:
Other desktop systems including Microsoft Windows and Unity have
accelerator keys in the window menu. This is typically accessible via
ALT_Space on any window, then pressing a key to initiate the desired
function.
Typically Alt_Space can be used to bring up the menu, then use x to
maximise a window, n to minimise a window, etc. GNOME Shell does not
implement these accelerator keys, which seems inconsistent with other
desktops, and internally inconsistent, as other menus in GNOME
applications _do_ have accelerator keys.
It would be great for people coming to GNOME Shell should be able to use
the familiar keyboard shortcuts they're used to.
As far as I can test (as far back as 16.04) this has always been the
case.
