I can't access some in-game functionality at all, since I started to play it this time (several weeks ago).

I can't access in-game chat after lobby and until I am dead. If I press the corresponding button, mech controls get locked, but I see no chat textfield, and whatever I type will not be messaged to others. I can only hit [Esc] and go battle.

I can't access Steam screenshots. F12 has no effect.

I can't eject or self-destruct. Not sure if it's meant that way in QP... Maybe it's for special game modes only?

I can't also use 'Win' button to open Start menu (Windows gaming mode turned off)

And I strongly suspect that all this should be mutually dependent...

And help? Have you seen behaviour like this? Is there a way to fix it?

1. Seems like its working, but not properly. Check in settings, if you have all the chat options enabled. And check your keybindings.
2. You need to have the steam overlay active, which many players have deactivated. <print> saves a screenshot to your profile folder, though
3. That function only works in Faction Play
4. no idea

Make sure chat is switched on
I get that behavior when I switch off all the chats
Hope this helps.

If its on toggle it to off
Restart client and switch it on
Restart client again, just to be sure.
