The short-cut keys in menurc only re used if the semi-colon at the
beginning of the line is removed and (at least in CM 3.90) it is paired
with the <alt> key as shown below.

; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/Menu/View/Encoding/Japanese/Shift_JIS" "")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/Menu/View/Goto/PrevHistory" "<Alt>Left")
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/Menu/View/ShowHide/Toolbar/IconOnly" "")

The above appears around line 120 in the menurc file.  Otherwise I
believe the key bindings are hard-coded into the main CM file.
