The menu accelerators haven't been editable under Linux for a while now,
but those shortcuts do work in recent Linux versions.

The Windows version of Evince is old and unsupported. You can install a
newer version through msys2¹ and those shortcuts should work. Someone was
working on an intaller for the msys2 version at
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evince-list/2017-July/msg00015.html
which might be more convenient.

¹: To install evince through msys2, install msys2 from
http://www.msys2.org/ and then install evince with 'pacman -S
mingw-w64-x86_64-evince'
