Thats a limitation with all mel guis in Maya (and a really annoying limitation too). you need to click in a modelPanel to make shortcuts work again. try it in the channelBox or attributeEditor; its the same stupid problem there

Or you can be smart about it and manage the window focus in your custom UI. Set the focus back to any modeling panel, or with some more work, pass it back to the firey chasm... uh, i mean, panel from whence it came.
