Hmmm, on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit en-US with Version: 5.2.1.2 (x64) Build ID: 31dd62db80d4e60af04904455ec9c9219178d620 CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Windows 6.19; UI Render: default; Locale: en-US (en_US); Calc: group NVDA 2016.2.1 reads the defined shortcuts and accelerator keys if set including any of the function keys. Is this an Orca configuration issue?
No it is not an Orca issue. If you use Accerciser, you can select the menu item in Accerciser's object tree. Then in Accerciser's Interface Viewer Tab, expand Action. Here's what I see for Field Shadings (Ctrl+F8): click l;<Alt>vl;<Control> And Styles and Formatting (F11): click y;<Alt>vy; Compare that with Full Screen (Ctrl+Shift+J): click u;<Alt>vu;<Shift><Control>j
I went back to v4.0.0.3 (Ubuntu 16.04 + Orca), and the behavior was the same back then. Has this never worked properly?
So tested Windows and Gtk3 builds and they dont have this issue, so its limited to Gtk2 builds. Tested 4.2.8 and 3.3.0 and it didnt work there either.

I imagine this works under gtk3 with the native menus, so that seems the way to go rather than worry about the legacy gtk2 situation
