Title: Keyboard accelerators for window menus aren't implemented Status in GNOME Shell: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Description from duplicate bug 1725706: Steps to reproduce: 1. 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.
