Context menu keyboard shortcut ignored until menu is visible at least once (Windows) #16314

Describe the bug

Context menu keyboard shortcuts do not work until the menu has been visible once.

To Reproduce

Create a TextBox with a ContextMenu with just one item - give that item a shortcut 'Ctrl-M'. Add a handler to do something like show a message (I know that Avalonia doesn't have this simplest of features, but you get the idea - create your own messagebox like the rest of us).
At runtime:

  1. Press 'Ctrl-M' - nothing happens
  2. Bring up the context menu via right-click and then close the context menu
  3. Press 'Ctrl-M' - the message appears

Obviously, you shouldn't have to show a context menu once to activate a keyboard shortcut - otherwise what's the point of a keyboard shortcut?

That's a known current limitation. Use KeyBindings instead.
