Felix's answer solved my problem, but there are a couple of other things to try.

You can press "d" in the Metro terminal console and it will send a signal to open the menu remotely. (However this doesn't always work either). You'll see:

info Opening developer menu...

I have found CMD-r (reload) starts recording the screenshot in the simulator as that key is already bound, so I experimented and found just pressing "r" works for reload. Then I found just pressing "d" in the focused simulator opens the debug menu.

When you are on simulator tab go to I/O menu -> keyboard and check "use hardware keyboard".

This should do the job.
