Description

That was my first reflex: type ALT to open the menu and it didn't work.
There are no underlines showing the shortcuts for menus like in MS-DOS (FILE had the F underlined). That would also help.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the terminal menu and keyboard-input handling, then check how menu shortcuts are represented and rendered. Done means Alt or Option opens the menu and the relevant menu shortcut letters are visibly indicated, with coverage for the new behavior.
