⌥` is not working (cannot activate Git Branches menu)
I want to switch to branches, rebase\merge without touching mouse\touchpad but as stated here https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/manage-branches.html
> To invoke it, click the Git widget in the Status bar or press ⌥` and select Branches there:
I cannot invoke the menu, pressing on ⌥` does nothing. And I don't know how to activate the main menu on Mac with a keyboard (to navigate through VCS -> Git -> ...)
How do you switch branches with a keyboard?

That's an error in documentation, we'll fix it, thanks.
Docs describe a shortcut to open VCS Operations popup - it is Ctrl+V on Mac.
Also, there is an action to open Branches pop-up directly, There is no predefined shortcut for it on Mac at the moment. Please go to Preferences | Keymaps and assign a shortcut for Version Control - Git - Repository - Branches manually
> And I don't know how to activate the main menu on Mac with a keyboard
Default shortcut to move focus to the Main menu on Mac is Ctrl+F2. It might not work though if there are conflicting shortcuts set somewhere, but in this case, you can define a different shortcut using System Preferences | Keyboard | SHortcuts
