Regarding post #7, that may very well make sense and that is just due to the changes but not anything that is intentional. There is no special intercepting of the Alt key to do something different with it. Our strong position is just to leave this alone because we do not want to deviate from standard operating system behavior. We do not want to engage in, "tricks" to bypass standard functionality of the OS.

So we cannot see how from the first post, this can happen because the Window menu can only be opened with Alt-W:
It seems Alt Shift M is now a windows MDI based shortcut that either cascades all charts or restores the current chart.
