title: Are there keyboard shortcuts to access the desktop menu in Gnome or how can I create them?
body: <p>I would like to access the desktop menus for Applications, System, etc. via my keyboard instead of my mouse.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>Tab</kbd> only lets me choose amongst the windows I have opened. There is no option to choose the desktop menus. Nothing happens with <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>Esc</kbd>. (I've looked at various pages for gnome desktop shortcuts).</p>
