Keyboard won't bring up retroarch menu.

Just curious how to do this. The keyboard works on keyboard dependent programs but when I press f1 such as Mario bros. does not work when a controller needs to be used.

Retropie 4.5.1, Ouya controller Hujjaii 2 player controller adapter for snes, raspberry pi 3 b

I have three controllers registered.

@polish-potato do none of your controllers have a select and start button on them? Typically to access the Retroarch menu from in the game you'd press SELECT+X.

Now after playing zork the controllers hotkeys don't work but the keyboard does. Very strange.

Edit: Only the NES emulator does that for some reason. Ah w/e it works. :)

You might have saved manually the RA config in RGUI for the NES system, overriding some of the configuration that RetroPie sets automatically. You can check that by looking in \\retropie\configs\nes\retroarch.cfg - if it's a large file with almost all RetroArch options, then you've saved it - or reset it - from the RGUI.
To make the keyboard and gamepads work at the same time, I think you need to have menu_unified_controls = true in the config file.
