Accessing menus when in full screen mode (Windows user)

Post by biestyboy » Tue Mar 02, 2021 3:19 pm

I know this has cropped up before but up until a few versions back (L9 I think) I was able to access the drop down menus by pressing Alt F. However now I can't and havent been able to for a few years. I can access the drop downs when not in fullscreen by pressing Alt F fine. Using Live 11 and Windows 10. It's only a minor PITA but there are some features I use regularly that can't be accessed by shortcuts (File Manager for one). Other than jumping out of full screen mode has anyone found a workaround? Ta.
Live 11 Suite (64 bit)
Windows 10 (64 bit)
Plugins galore

Nobody answer that question til now. Hmmm....
I have another one, getting to know this shortcut that the manual describes as "34.2 Accessing Menus" being the shortcut [CMD][?].
What does it do?

Thanks for anyone who can put light on those questions!

WIN+up arrow. WIN+down to hide again.

ALT+F and such actually work here (Win 10).

It's still broken in the the latest release version 11.2.7.

The 11.2.10 beta1 release notes mention this:

"Main menus on Windows can be accessed in Full Screen Mode by using [ALT] + character shortcuts."
