The menu bar died with the User Tool.  It was never an option in the web
UI.  Dev Studio supports it because there is still a shipping version of AR
System that includes the User Tool (and probably backward comparability for
a little while).

Here is a white paper on behavioral differences between WUT and browser
clients (it is older so a few things may have changed like copy to new is
now supported in 7.6.04 SP5 and 8.1 SP1):

BMC Remedy User
A menu bar is available in BMC Remedy User.

Browser
A menu bar is not available in browsers.

As for an alternate hot key feature in Mid Tier I am not aware of an out of
the box one.  You probably can dive into some custom JavaScript to detect a
hot key combination and then call a guide.  Here is some info on adding
functionality using JavaScript.
