Windows 10: What keyboard shortcut replaces ALT+SPACE to display the shortcut menu for the active...

I can understand the need to have a keyboard shortcut for Copilot, but taking away the active window shortcut makes it EXTREMELY difficult to control off-screen windows like "Settings" when Windows loses a monitor in a multi-monitor configuration. Whoever decided this was a good idea should be sent to the same place as the marketing exec who decided to remove the start button in Windows 8. EPIC failure Microsoft... EPIC! Either give us a method to control active windows or fix the issue with muti-monitor configurations losing monitors and then "magically" assigning that monitor "main display"

:)

 

Display active keyboard shortcuts?

Is there a way to display currently active shortcuts? Windows certainly must know what they are.

I know there are many documents online that list the common, or maybe all, standard Windows shortcuts. but those documents cannot know what shortcuts have been overridden by active applications.

I doubt it matters much, but I'm running Win 10 2004.
