Toggle tab menu - CTRL+M Mystery.

I have been trying to setup some automation for Opera and I'm confused..
All the help guides mention that CTRL+M will do the one thing I need it to do so I can gain access to the menu from the keyboard, and therefor gain access to that menu in order to do things that where there aren't already shortcuts.
The problem is that it doesn't work.
I went to great lengths to prove to myself that nothing else was hijacking the key combination, but then I discovered that the feature isn't even listed in the keyboard shortcut assignment settings. Every other function is listed, but not "Toggle tab menu".
Has the feature been dropped?
Is there another way I can gain access to the menu from the keyboard?
Please help, I've spent so long trying to get this to work..
Thank you so much for your time,

MariChrysanthemum last edited byI am a little confused by your wording. Tab menu (CTRL+M) doesn't really let you "do things that aren't already shortcuts", it just shows your tabs (which I think has been replaced by "Search tabs" CTRL/ALT+SPACE now).
To access the main menu in the menu bar, you can use the shortcuts inherent to Mac, as "main menu inside app" is more of a Windows element that doesn't apply to Mac. If the relevant device shortcuts are already active, then you can use CTRL+F2 (FN+CTRL+F2 without function lock) to focus the keyboard on the menu bar.
