Alt F doesn't activate File menu, puts 'f' in editor

Here is another minor potential sluglet. (v2.0.02 compiled for Debian x86-64.)

In most programs I use, there is a File menu. In every case except Cabbage, Alt F activates this menu. In most programs I use which involve editing a file, Alt-F S saves it, so it is a reflexive action for me to do this regularly.

With Cabbage, Alt F is not recognised in this way, and results in “f” being written to the .csd file editing pane.

File save can be done with “ctrl + s” as shown in the File menu, but if there is a way that Alt F would bring up the file menu, and ideally if ‘S’ at that point saved the file, this would make it easier for me to use.

Tell me about it right? It turns out Alt-f functionality isn’t the easiest thing to implement in JUCE. I did look into this before, but I can try again.
