Here's our online reference for KDE keyboard shortcut HIG:<br>

<br>
Ctrl-M toggles the visibility of the bar /(without selecting it).
Some KDE Applications implement this (e.g. Gwenview, Dolphin), but
others do not (e.g., KDevelop). None of these 3 applications provide
"Focus to the Menu Bar" via F10, as documented in our guidelines.
Dolphin uses that key to create a new item, and the other two seem
to completely ignore the key event.<br>
<br>
I'll recheck the Qt "StandardKey" table and documentation later
tonight , maybe scribble some fixes. But it looks like Wikipedia is
wrong about "Alt + M" on KDE.<br>
BTW, Here are some other references for keyboard shortcuts:<br>

That's because no such conventions exist- yet. We'll be the first to
create them. It's possible that the GNOME people will cooporate with
us, and share certain values, if we let them know what we came up
with. (That would be helpful, of course.)<br>
