Cannot select menu with alt in windows version of atom editor

Asked 2 years ago, Updated 2 years ago, 121 views

TITLE Phenomenon
I want to use the keyboard to operate the menu bar just like a typical Windows app

Specifically, we would like to perform the following operations.
1. If you press alt when the editing area is focused, I want the file on the menu bar to be selected.
From the 2.1 state, I would like to operate the menu bar with the up, down, left, and right arrow keys.
I'd like to use the arrow key to select next to the menu bar (and move from file to edit).

Why
I operate my computer with an operating navigation system because I have a limb problem with ALS.
I wanted to unify the operation as much as possible.

I made ita_3y misunderstand.

Assume that you intend to display the menu with alt+key (alt+f for example, File).

It seems that File and Help are not displayed unless the cursor is not hit in the file (select the space in the title bar or tree view), but I think everything else works normally.

Press alt to underline the characters in each menu, so that's the key.
e.g.
alt+f:File
alt+i:Find

In addition, any menu tree that displays an underlined line can be executed by pressing the key.
e.g.
n —New File
o —Open File

If you want to be able to do something that is not underlined, why don't you look at the Keybindings in Settings (I don't know if you can do it)?
