If @nrbrtx had offered any good advice at all, it's that someone else on
the same page said that Super+H can perform the minimize (hide) action
that I sought. I'll try this. It doesn't resolve the menu bug but it'll
get me my missing keyboard functionality.

Title:
  Keyboard accelerators for window menus aren't implemented

Status in GNOME Shell:
  Confirmed
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Description from duplicate bug 1725706:

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Install Ubuntu 17.10
  2. Login to the default Ubuntu session
  3. Open any windowed application such as Nautilus or `gnome-terminal`
  3. Click <Alt+Space> to show current window settings
  4. Try to set "Always on Top" property with keyboard shortcut (<t>)

  Expected results:
  * window reacts on <t> and set on top as requested

  Actual results:
  * window does not react on <t>

  Notes:
  "Always on Top" is just an illustration. Mnemonics for other (Minimize, 
Maximize, Move, Resize, Always on Visible Workspace, Move to workspace down, 
etc) do not defined and do work too.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Original description below:

  Other desktop systems including Microsoft Windows and Unity have
  accelerator keys in the window menu. This is typically accessible via
  ALT_Space on any window, then pressing a key to initiate the desired
  function.

  Typically Alt_Space can be used to bring up the menu, then use x to
  maximise a window, n to minimise a window, etc. GNOME Shell does not
  implement these accelerator keys, which seems inconsistent with other
  desktops, and internally inconsistent, as other menus in GNOME
  applications _do_ have accelerator keys.

  It would be great for people coming to GNOME Shell should be able to
  use the familiar keyboard shortcuts they're used to.

  As far as I can test (as far back as 16.04) this has always been the
  case.
