@v-rpundir please try "crtl+shift+space" to open the drop-down menu and scroll to "About" when using the keyboard only. It is defined in default.json file:

{ "command": "openNewTabDropdown", "keys": "ctrl+shift+space" },

An option could be added to the command palette for "About" action. Is not there as of WT version 1.11.2421.0.
