<p dir="auto">For example, pressing <code class="notranslate">Alt+F</code> should open <code class="notranslate">File</code> menu, then press <code class="notranslate">-&gt;</code> to move to <code class="notranslate">Edit</code> menu.<br>
On Windows 7/8, this does not work after the main editor is focused, except for the welcome page.<br>
On Ubuntu Linux (Unity), the menu bar can be activated normally by keyboard.</p>
<p dir="auto">Atom version: 0.201</p>
<p dir="auto">The normal Windows <code class="notranslate">Alt+{letter}</code> menu shortcuts don't work in Atom. Holding <code class="notranslate">Alt</code> highlights the relevant letter in each menu name, but then pressing the letter doesn't open the menu. For example, <code class="notranslate">Alt+F</code> should open the File menu, but instead the Key Binding Resolver shows it invoking the following:</p>
<div class="snippet-clipboard-content notranslate position-relative overflow-auto" data-snippet-clipboard-copy-content="editor:move-to-end-of-word    atom-text-editor    resources\app\keymaps\emacs.json"><pre class="notranslate"><code class="notranslate">editor:move-to-end-of-word    atom-text-editor    resources\app\keymaps\emacs.json
</code></pre></div>
<p dir="auto">This is a vanilla install of Atom 0.141.0 in Windows 7 Home Premium x64. I haven't opted in to enabling anything Emacs related.</p>
<p dir="auto">Pressing Alt also doesn't focus the menu bar and allow it to be navigated by arrow keys like it normally does in Windows.</p>
