Accessing the Menus in G-Suite

I'm coming to the hive mind today with yet another question regarding Google Suite, that contrary beast that just loves to make life difficult for screen reader users. Has anyone else been experiencing issues navigating the Docs/Sheets menus since all the keyboard shortcuts were updated a couple of months ago? As far as I'm aware, the procedure for opening up any given menu is still the same: the VO pass-through command (CTRL + Option + Tab) followed by CTRL + Option + relevant menu hotkey. For some reason, this sequence is no longer working for me--nothing at all happens after I press the menu shortcut key combination. Searching the menus with Option + Slash does seem to work for the most part, but the one feature I actually want to use right now, the add-ons, refuses to open when I press enter on "Manage Add-ons" in the search dialog...go figure. Is there maybe a setting somewhere that needs to be adjusted to get the hotkeys working again? This is all in Google Chrome by the way, I gave up on Safari and G-Suite a while ago.
