With the newly compiled version of vim (details below), `:simalt ~x`

How interesting -- for me, :simalt ~x works, but actually pressing <Alt><Space> doesn't bring down the menu. I have to define a mapping for it to work:

    :nnoremap <A-Space> :simalt ~<CR>

    :inoremap <A-Space> <C-o>:simalt ~<CR>

I can't remember exactly where I got my Vim binary, but the top of its :ver command shows:

    VIM - Vi IMproved 8.0 (2016 Sep 12, compiled Feb  1 2017 23:55:18)

    MS-Windows 32-bit GUI version with OLE support

    Included patches: 1-295

    Compiled by appveyor@APPVYR-WIN

    Huge version with GUI.  Features included (+) or not (-):

Although I have to say I've had the same problem with physically pressing <Alt><Space> also in several releases of Vim 7.3, and I think in several different Windows builds.
