I struggled with this issue a few months ago myself.
There's a hotkey to turn this setting on/off while MAMe is running, press ScrollLock.
If you want to make this permanent, enable MAME partial keyboard emulation setting... open mame.ini and change the value from 0 to 1. This setting is disabled by default and it only affects console/computer machines. It does nothing for arcade machines.
ui_active 1
Then MAME menu will work (TAB key).
Be aware, depending on the computer machine being emulated, some keys from the emulated machine will not work when this setting is enabled.
