On a sidenote, Windows already uses ALT for menu shortcuts (ALT F >
File menu) with a locking system (IE if you press ALT alone once, it
will lock you in the menu waiting for a letter associated to a menu).
This is bad, because if you press alt by mistake then enter some text,
it will result in random menus being opened...
Not having this behaviour, or, at least, moving it to the control key,
seems a good thing ...
