Keyboard shortcut for classic menu

Support & Help Requests
#1

Hi 'traditional'ists :grinning:,
Do we have keyboard shortcut for classic menu (applications, places, system) either separately or all-in-one? Is there isn't one by default, will it be possible to create one?

TIA.

It is Alt+F1 for years.

:grimacing: ah I feel so dumb..yes Alt+F1. :sweat_smile: I have used it in Xfce but never tried in MATE. Thank you @Norbert_X.

This will do for now. However, I was looking for a shortcut where applications, places, system would drop-down from top panel in the traditional layout. Is there a shortcut to for that? Alt+F1 will open a menu at mouse location.

Alt+F1 will open Applications menu when you switch panel layout to Traditional in MATE Tweak:

I feel more embarrassed now. I was checking for traditional layout shortcut under familiar. :man_facepalming: Thank you so much for your patience.

Been a 'Familiar' or 'Pantheon' guy mostly. Planning to switch to 'Traditional' layout . This shortcut and search (am happy with Alt+F2) were what I was looking.
