gnome-terminal is a long complicated story (see the link from comment 5 if you care), BUT one of the 3 or so reasons we removed the global menu mnemonics was that even if we enabled them, Alt+F didn't work. I can no longer recall for sure, but I think Alt+F stopped working for us when we ported to GMenu (the first link here from comment 3).
18.04, Unity 7, gedit: Alt+F does not work for me, Alt+E etc. do work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1734817 Title: keyboard: alt-F doesn't open File menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1734817/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
