I am facing the same issue. Unable to use enter key to select any menu option. Moreover, enter does not work on top right menu which manages wifi, sound level, screen brightness etc. Seems like these issues are related.

Install Ubuntu 17.10 2. Login to the default Ubuntu session 3. Open any windowed application such as Nautilus or `gnome-terminal` 3. Click <Alt+Space> to show current window settings 4. Try to set "Always on Top" property with keyboard shortcut (<t>) Expected results: * window reacts on <t> and set on top as requested Actual results: * window does not react on <t> Notes: "Always on Top" is just an illustration. Mnemonics for other (Minimize, Maximize, Move, Resize, Always on Visible Workspace, Move to workspace down, etc) do not defined and do work too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original description below: 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.
