Description

On macos, if I close all windows in drracket but leave the application itself running, I can no longer use keyboard shortcuts like ctrl-o, or ctrl-shift-o. The menu options still work.

(This is in contrast to, say, finder or chrome where these shortcuts still work on windowless apps)

Research direction

Reproduce this on macOS by closing every DrRacket window while leaving the application running, then try Ctrl-O and Ctrl-Shift-O and compare them with the corresponding menu options. Trace the windowless application’s shortcut handling; done means those shortcuts respond when no DrRacket windows are open.
