How do I display menu of an application using shortcut

Question

How do I display menu of an application using keyboard shortcut?

E.g. in LibreOffice Calc I'm used to use ALT+f to display menu File or ALT+w to display window files. But these shortcuts are not working and I have to use mouse to hover over the top bar, wait till the menu appear and click - what an annoying process.

I'm using Ubuntu 13.04.

'Alt+...' is working like a charm for me. Maybe you want to see How do I report a bug? — Radu Rădeanu, Aug 13 '13 at 14:56
OK, I can report a bug, I just want to be sure it cannot be enabled somewhere. — Tomas Greif, Aug 14 '13 at 06:43

If you press and hold the Super/Windows key you can see a list of shortcuts (in Ubuntu with Unity). One of them is the one you are looking for:

Alt + F10 : Opens the first menu or, if there is no menu, it opens the first indicator (in the top right corner). When this shortcut doesn't work, try just F10.

Alt + F10 works, but it is not the way I prefer. – Tomas Greif Aug 14 '13 at 06:44
