Previously, I used to be able to hit Alt-F2 to open a new window. As of one or two updates ago, this no longer works. Alt-F4 to close the window also no longer works. Both shortcuts still show up in the context menu.

That is most likely an issue with MinTTY: https://github.com/mintty/mintty/issues. Please report it there.

(For the record, Alt+F2 works here, still, with v2.19.2.)

[akerfoot]

Just to be clear, do you mean it works on MinTTY on your machine? Or are you using cmd.exe?
(I've upgraded to v2.19.2 and still see the issue.)

@akerfoot it works in my Git for Windows v2.19.2 (64-bit) installation.
