Description Justin Garrison 2015-06-10 18:34:35 UTC 
When opening a window menu (alt+space) items on the menu used to be keyboard selectable but since window decorations moved to gtk+ (https://blogs.gnome.org/fmuellner/2015/01/30/a-small-note-on-window-decorations/) the keyboard shortcut options no longer work with the new gtk+ window menu.
The options can be selected with scrolling through the options with arrows and then pushing enter but the n, u, m, c, etc. options were much faster and easier to push. It may also be an accessibility issue for keyboards without arrows and/or users who have trouble scrolling menus.

The window menu is done by gnome-shell again these days, unless you are in a situation where we have to use the fallback implementation in GTK+.

Thanks for the update and for not telling me to "search next time" which I did but didn't know the shortcuts I was looking for were called accelerators/mnemonics

I'll follow that other bug for updates.
