With my Chrome, pressing the Alt key on its own has no visible effect. 
At a guess, Alt-F was chosen because the File menu was (still is) the 
first menu in the vast majority of Windows software, and has been for 
many versions of Windows (though not all software, and that's always 
been so - for example the calculator doesn't have a file menu, logically 
enough). Alt-space still does something in Chrome, though - much the 
same as it does in any other software (same as clicking on top left, for 
sighted users - though most of them don't know of that menu either!).
